•HE  Books  DEscninED  in  this  Catalogue 
are  brought  to  auction,  because  the  proprie- 
tors just  now  prefer  the  money  to  their 
books.  It  13  presumed  that  the  intelh'gent 
and  discriminating  purchasers  will  prefer  the 
books  to  their  money.  Both  parties  may  be 
thus  equally  benefited  by  the  transaction.  Hence  an  apology 
here  for  the  seller  would  be  as  mucli  out  of  place  as  one  for 
the  buj'er.  But  this  Library  is  so  peculiar  and  so  off  the 
ordinary  that  some  explanation  seems  desirable  for  the  infor- 
mation of  the  buyers.  The  same  explanation  it  is  hoped  may 
promote  the  interest  of  the  sellers,  the  sale  thus  being  made 
to  realize  Adam  Smith's  idea  of  fair  trade,  a  good  bargain  for 
both  parties. 

The  Catalogue  is  intended  to  be  an  alphabetical  common- 
sense  one,  according  to  the  well  settled  rules  of  bibliography, 
but  many  exceptions  have  been  made  to  adapt  it  to  circum- 
stances and  the  convenience  of  sale  by  auction.  Many  lots 
are  misplaced  in  consequence  of  the  books  coming  in  too  late, 
and  others  to  avoid  as  far  as  possible  duplicates  being  sold  the 
same  day.  The  titles,  especially  those  in  foreign  languages, 
were  written  by  several  hands,  and  at  various  times,  with 
more  or  less  fulness.  The  editor,  therefore,  not  having,  in 
most  cases,  the  books  before  him  to  refer  to,  has  had  some 
difficulty  in  harmonizing  and  correcting  the  titles.  No  one 
can  know  better  than  himself  the  imperfections  and  short- 
comings of  this  Catalogue,  but  his  experience  has  taught  him 


1 


iv  Explanatory 

that  it  is  better  to  let  the  generous  reader  have  the  pleasure 
of  finding  out  the  mistakes  for  himself  rather  than  attempt  to 
indicate  and  apologize  for  them.  Let  him  that  is  free  from 
errata  in  his  own  life  point  them  out  and  crow.  The  writer 
will  reciprocate  on  opportunity.  No  man  ever  yet,  he  thinks, 
printed  a  catalogue  })erfect  in  the  eyes  of  others.  The  editor 
lias  printed  enough  of  them  to  cause  his  youthful  pride  of  ac- 
curacy to  be  completely  taken  out  of  him,  and  he  is  always 
willing  to  help  take  it  out  of  others  by  encouraging  them  in 
tiie  same  laudable  labors. 

It  has  become  a  custom  in  this  enlightened  country  to  em- 
phasize, at  the  expense  of  the  seller,  the  importance  of  rare 
and  valuable  books  by  printing  very  long  titles  and  filling 
out  the  pages  with  leads  and  blank  spaces.  The  editor  has 
ventured  to  depart  somewhat  from  this  custom,  by  endeavor- 
ing in  most  cases  to  render  the  titles  short  and  concise,  and 
then  lead  out  the  pages  with  notes  in  small  type.  He  has 
done  this  for  several  reasons.  First,  by  printing  in  two  hun- 
dred and  fifty  pages  what  would  otherwise  occupy  five  hun- 
dred, the  expense  is  less,  which  to  a  frugal  mind  is  equivalent 
to  virtue.  Second,  the  Catalogue  to  his  eye  being  more  solid 
and  compact  presents  a  comelier  appearance. 

Virtue  to  all  complexions  givetb  grace, 
But  Virtue  grac6d  is  by  a  good  face. 

Third,  having  in  the  course  of  many  years  of  bibliographical 
study  and  research  picked  up  various  isolated  grains  of  knowl- 
edge respecting  the  early  history,  geography,  and  bibliography 
of  this  Western  Hemisphere  which  he  has  not  found  it  con- 
venient hitherto  to  book  in  appropriate  places,  the  writer  has 
thought  it  well  to  pigeon-hole  the  facts  here  by  inserting  notes 
short  and  long  in  the  Catalogue.  That  he  may  not  be  guilty 
any  longer  of  the  indiscretion  of  planting  his  corn  where 
the  crows  will  pull  it  up,  as  heretofore,  he  has  caused  to  be 
printed  on  the  back  of  the  title  Uncle  Samuel's  usual  notice 
to  the  crows.  To  the  intelligent  collector  whose  object  is  to 
fill  his  head,  this  padding  of  small  type  will,  it  is  hoped,  be  of 


Explanatory  v 

10  offence.  The  loud  and  indifferent  collector  whose  noble 
jbject  is  to  fill  his  shelves  will  doubtless  readily  pardon  and 
skip  this  minion  leading. 

Fourth,  and  the  previous  reasons  but  lead  np  to  this,  because 
very  considerable  proportion  of  the  books  described  in  this 
roluino  belonged  to  the  library  of  his  late  honored  father,  the 
jditor  has  thought  by  rendering  it  a  trifle  more  than  an  or- 
Unary  sale  catalogue,  he  might  thereby  erect  an  appropriate 
land  affectionate  memorial  to  one  whose  memory  to  him  is 
[dearer  than  can  well  be  expressed  on  cold  marble.     He  has 
laimed,  therefore,  to  achieve  for  his  parent  a  pious  monument 
[that,  in  warm  and  comfortable  libraries,  long  afler  his  books 
[have  been  dispersed  and  the  sale  forgotten,  may  be  referred 
to  by  intelligent  bibliographers  of  American  history,  and  be 
consulted   by  antiquaries  with  interest  and  respect.      This 
Catalogue  therefore  has  been  made,  after  the  manner  of  the 
i  old  Vermont  Farmer  of  Barnet,  to  stand  square  on  its  own 
i  taps,  with  a  fashion  of  its  own,  full  of  odd  titles,  quaint  con- 
ceits, originality,  personal  anecdote,  disjointed  historical  con- 
nections, and  general  intelligence.      Those  who  knew  the 
mirth-loving,  pains-taking  Founder  and  first  President  of  the 
Vermont  Historical  and  Antiquarian  Society,  it  is  hoped,  will 
recognize  tlie  effigies ;  those  who  did  not  are  asked  to  take  it 
on  trust,  calling  to  mind  that  all  outside  of  the  ordinary  sale 
catalogue  is  intended  as  a  filial  memorial 

STEPHANI  ET  AMICORUM. 

Henry  Stevens,  Senior,  was  born  at  Barnet,  Vermont,  on 
the  18th  day  of  December,  1791,  and  died  on  the  old  home- 
stead, on  the  30th  of  July,  1867,  at  the  age  of  seventy-five, 
leaving  his  house  full  of  books  and  historical'manuscripts,  the 
delight  of  his  youth,  the  companions  of  his  manhood,  and  the 
solace  of  his  old  age.  His  father  was  Enos  Stevens,  who  from 
the  age  of  twelve  to  fifteen  was  three  years  a  captive  among 
the  St  Francis  Indians  of  Canada,  was  one  of  the  original  pro- 
prietors and  first  settlers  of  Barnet  under  a  New  Hampshire 
Grant,  was  married  at  the  age  of  fifty  and  enriched  his  State

with  ten  Green  Mountain  Boys  and  Girls.  The  father  of  Enos 
was  Capt.  Phineas  Stevens,  born  at  Sudbury,  Massachusetts, 
in  1707,  served  his  country  in  the  Indian  Wars,  and  in  April 
1747  defended  successfully  '  Fort  N"  Four '  on  Connecticut 
River  against  an  attack  of  a  large  body  of  French  and  In- 
dians, for  which  gallant  action  he  was  complimented  with  a 
sword  by  Admiral  Sir  Charles  Knowles,  whose  fleet  was 
then  in  Boston  Harbor,  the  place  thenceforward  being  called 
Charlestown,  after  Sir  Charles.  He  was  sent  to  Canada  in 
1752,  by  the  Government  of  Massachusetts  Bay,  to  redeem 
captives.  Not  finding  enough  of  them  for  his  money,  and 
meeting  with  a  New  Hampshire  young  man  named  John  Stark, 
he  ventured  to  buy  him  on  his  own  account  of  the  Indians 
by  e.xhanging  a  Shetland  pony  for  which  he  paid  515  livres, 
and  so  restored  to  his  friends  the  future  hero  of  Bennington. 
Phineas  was  the  son  of  Joseph,  who  was  the  son  of  Cyprian, 
who  was  the  son  of  Cyprian  senior,  who  was  the  son  of 
Thomas  of  London,  a  supporter  and  friend  of  the  Massachu- 
setts Colony,  who  was  the  son  of  Thomas  Stevens  of  Devon- 
shire, one  of  the  assignees  of  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  of  his  Patent 
of  Virginia,  of  March  1585. 

To  return,  Henry  and  the  late  Thaddeus  Stevens,  born 
within  seven  miles  of  each  other,  were  chums  in  boyhood  at 
Peacham  Academy,  and  warm  friends  through  life.  Leaving 
the  Academy  at  the  age  of  twelve  with  only  a  taste  of  books, 
and,  as  he  expi-essed  it,  graduating  at  Nature's  University, 
he  became  a  self-taught  man.  The  eldest  of  ten  children,  he 
became  their  guardian  and  educator.  The  father  of  a  large 
family,  he  sought  only  to  provide  his  children  with  education, 
leaving  them  to  hoe  their  own  rows.  He  was  a  farmer, 
an  inn-keeper,  a  mill-owner,  a  landlord,  and  the  squire  by 
courtesy  of  Stevens  Village.  An  antiquarian  and  a  book  col- 
lector, his  house  was  the  resort  of  the  intelligent.  He  was  a 
liberal  and  public-spirited  citizen,  a  disinterested  politician, 
an  impartial  justice,  at.  industrious  representative  in  the  State 
Legislature,  an  obliging  postmaster,  a  promoter  of  agriculture, 
and  an  advocate  of  tempei'ance.    A  kind  neighbor,  he  pastured 


Explanatory  vii 

the  widow's  cow,  protected  the  fatherless,  and  annually  sup- 
plemented his  minister-tax  with  one  load  of  hay  and  two 
bushels  of  wliite  beans.  He  was  a  collector  and  reader  of 
newspapers,  a  hoarder  of  pamphlets,  and  a  gatherer  of  the  un- 
considered trifles  of  the  day.  He  lectured  on  Temperance,  Ag- 
riculture, and  Education,  and  contended  that  Vermont  should 
be  manured  all  over  with  school-houses.  He  was  a  strong  ad- 
vocate of  internal  improvements  and  domestic  manufactures. 
Through  life  he  was  a  wool-grower  and  a  protectionist,  and 
his  clothes  were  homespun.  In  knowledge  of  the  statistics  of 
his  county  few  were  his  equals,  and  none  was  his  superior  in 
the  history  of  his  own  State  and  the  early  Green  Mountain 
Bovs.  He  was  a  confidential  acent  of  the  Secretary  of  the 
Treasury  at  Washington,  for  collecting  information  respecting 
the  New  England  manufactures,  and  the  State  of  Vermont 
owes  to  him  the  collection  and  arrangement  of  her  Historical 
Papers. 

Many  of  his  books  and  historical  pamphlets  like  those  from 
Washington's  library,  found  their  way  through  the  writer  into 
the  library  of  the  British  Museum.  In  February,  1857,  some 
2000  volumes  of  Vermont  newspapers,  3000  tracts,  and  many 
of  his  valuable  historical  manuscripts  were  burnt  with  the 
State  House  at  Montpelier,  an  irreparable  loss  to  himself  and 
to  posterity.  His  widow  now  possesses  about  250  large  quarto 
and  folio  volumes  of  historical  manuscripts  relating  to  the  New 
Hampshire  Grants,  to  Vermont,  and  to  the  Controversy  with 
New  York,  among  which  are  the  Ethan  and  Ira  Allen  papers, 
the  papers  of  the  first  three  Surveyors-general,  miscellaneous 
correspondence,  etc.  All  the  rest  of  his  library  not  otherwise 
appropriated  is  included  in  this  Catalogue.  In  many  volumes 
will  be  found  his  book-plate,  comprising  the  arms  of  Vermont 
over  his  name  and  address,  and  these  lines  :  — 


In  Paradise,  the  tree 
Of  knowledge  was  the  pride ; 
By  God's  supreme  decree, 
The  man  who  eat  —  then  died. 


But  Heaven  in  mercy  since 
Does  him  who  tastes  forgive; 
To  know,  is  no  offence; 
Now,  he  who  eats  —  shall  live.

Legislature.     He  was  no  speaker,  but  generally  managed  to 
carry  his  point  by  force  of  native  talent  and  ingenious  sur- 
prise.    At  one  time  the  Legislature  was  at  a  dead-lock  in  the 
appointment  of  some  officer  and  neither  party  would  yield. 
The  opposition  contended  that  the  candidate  was  not  equal 
to  the  place.     The  gentleman  from  Barnet  gained  the  floor. 
"  Mr  Speaker,"  said  he,  "  may  I  ask  if  this  candidate  is  the 
man  who  unarmed  recently  hugged  a  bear  to  death."     "  He 
is."     "  Then,  sir,  I  think  he  is  not  the  man  to  flinch  under 
any  circumstances,  —  he  shall  have  my  vote,"  and  amid  roars 
of  laughter  the  candidate  was  unanimously  elected.     Years 
after  he  generally  attended  the  Legislature,  a   self-elected 
member  of  the  Third  House.     For  several  years  the  Third 
House  was  regularly  organized  and  held  its  daily  sessions  like 
the  other  two  branches.     The  printed  journals  and  proceed- 
ing are  full  of  wit  and  humor.     Mr  Stevens  was  annually 
elected  chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Useless  Information  and 
Antiquarian  Loiver.     With  a  mind  well  stored  with  wise  saws 
and  modern  instances  he  frequently  brought  down  the  House 
by  a  knack  Samson  never  dreamed  of.     His  occasional  re- 
ports are  said  to  have  drawn  crowds  and  applause.     In  his 
historical  mousings  in  garrets,  among  sequestered  hen-coops 
and  old  barrels,  he  chanced  to  light  upon  about  a  bushel  of  old 
Continental  and  State  money,  redeemed  but  never  properly 
cancelled.     This  he  called  his  *'  Antiquarian  Currency,"  and 
with  it  bought  in  his  travels  through  the  country  vast  numbers 
of  old  books,  papei.3,  tracts,  etc.    Educated  in  the  good  old 
school  of  unswerving  integrity  and   no  trowsers-pockets,  he 
could  not  bear  to  see  the  rising  generation  standing  around 
the  stores,  the   taverns,   and  the   railway  stations,  wearing 
whiskers,   chewing  tobacco,  with   hands  in   their   breeches. 


The  less  hopeless  of  these  youths  he  delighted  to  rescue, 
his  pocket-book  the  writer  found  the  following :  —

$20.  Burlington,  June  2d,  a.  d.  1860. 

In  consideration  of  Twenty  Dollars  of  Antiquarian  Money  received  of 

my  friend  Henry  Stevens,  I  promise  upon  honor  to  keep  my  hands  out 

of  my  trowsers-pociceta  for  the  space  of  two  months,  except  in  case  of 

necessity.  W.  B.  Rich.

To  the  remnants  of  the  library  of  such  a  man  are  added 
the  remainders  of  the  gatherings  of  years,  from  all  parts  of 
Europe  and  America,  of  one  of  his  sons ;  the  whole  forming 
the  unique  collection  brought  together  and  described  in  this 
Catalogue.  It  is  hardly  fair,  however,  to  call  this  compound 
a  Library,  since  it  is  too  miscellaneous,  too  disintegi'ated,  and 
too  incoherent.  But  it  is  just  the  collection  by  its  dispersion 
to  help  fill  important  gaps  in  public  and  private  libraries. 
It  is  in  many  respects  unlike  any  other  collection  ever  brought 
together  in  this  country.  The  first  impulse  of  a  librarian  or 
bibliographer  reading  the  Catalogue,  will  most  likely  be  to  ask, 
if  all  this  remain,  what  must  have  been  the  library  before  it 
vf&s  picked  f  There  is  scarcely  a  book  herein  described  that 
is  not  deserving  of  a  place  in  any  of  our  large  public  libraries ; 
and  yet  most  of  the  good  standard  every-day  works,  such  as 
"  no  library  should  be  without,"  and  which  everybody  wants, 
are  not  here.  That  is  just  it.  The  remainder  of  a  picked 
library  in  this  country  is  frequently  found  to  be  equivalent  to 
a  weeded  library.  The  part  left  is  often  the  best.  The  Ameri- 
can bibliographers  and  librarians,  with  notable  exceptions,  are 
gregarious  and  are  inclined  to  be  too  imitative,  running  in 
grooves.  There  is  the  Obadiah  Rich  groove,  the  Ternaux- 
Compans  groove,  and  the  Ander  SchiiFahrt  groove.  Books 
described  by  these  worthies  go  off  like  hot  cakes,  and  are 
found  in  dozens  of  libraries,  public  and  private  ;  but  it  is  only 
the  rare  cognoscenti,  the  knowing  ones  of  a  thousand,  who 
ferret  out  the  unknown  and  undescribed  books  and  secure 
them.  One  may  safely  assert  that  not  one  quarter  of  the 
titles  of  the  books  pertaining  to  the  discovery,  exploration, 
and  development  of  our  Continent,  are  recorded  in  these  and 
other  manuals.  The  very  fact  that  a  book  of  this  kind  is  not 
so  recorded  is  a  sufficient  reason  why  it,  like  folly,  should  be 
shot  as  it  flies. 

One  often  hears  librarians  and  book  collectors  talk  of 
trash,  and  sees  them,  not  unfrequently,  decline  as  such  the 
plums  of  history  offered  them,  because,  forsooth,  they  do  not 
find  them  described  in  their  own  favorite  manuals,  or  because

they  are  translations,  or  written  in  a  language  they  cannot 
read.  Sirs,  there  is  no  such  thing  as  trash  in  our  historical 
literature,  or  in  the  historical  literature  of  any  language,  so 
far  as  it  relates  to  America.  You  may,  if  you  please,  apply 
that  disparaging  term  to  a  funeral  sermon  on  my  grandmother, 
and  I  may,  if  I  please,  entertain  a  like  opinion  of  the  one  on 
yours ;  yet  both  of  these  documents  might  very  properly  be 
preserved  in  the  public  libraries  of  a  nation  whose  hopes  and 
prospects  are  backed  by  its  genealogy,  its  biography,  and  its 
history.  It  is  amazing  to  see  how  light  is  the  mental  pabulum 
that  best  nourishes  some  minds,  while  others  require  nothing 
less  hearty  than  the  Novum  Organon  Euconis.  No  American 
probably  ever  wrote  or  owned  a  book  so  weak  but  there 
might  be  found  another  American  with  a  mind  just  strong 
enough  to  thrive  upon  it.  With  these  views  the  writer  un- 
hesitatingly declares  his  belief  that  this  collection,  well  suited 
to  varying  tastes  and  capacities,  is  as  nearly  exempt  from 
trash  as  any  one  probably  ever  offered  by  auction  to  the 
American  public.  The  collection  is  miscellaneous  and  valua- 
ble ;  but  the  proprietors  have  no  twinges  of  conscience  about 
breaking  it.  The  books  are  good  ones  and  generally  in  good 
condition,  many  well  bound  and  some  even  in  extravagant 
bindings,  or  they  are  in  a  good  state  for  binding  —  large, 
clean,  and  uncut.  Some  of  the  books,  it  is  true,  are  not 
adapted  to  the  capacities  of  all  collectors,  any  more  than  all 
collectors  are  fitted  to  possess  some  of  the  books  ;  but  the 
books  on  an  average  are  probably  of  as  high  a  quality  as  the 
average  of  the  collectors.  The  proprietors,  therefore,  on 
the  whole,  can  with  confidence  recommend  the  library  (ut 
vulgo)  as  one  eminently  well  calculated  for  dispersion.  In- 
complete in  itself  '1  go  far  towards  completing  others,  and 
filling  up  those  ■  ivenient  chinks  which  every  earnest  stu- 
dent of  American  history  finds  in  our  libraries,  and  will  con- 
tinue to  find  'jntil  librarians  and  committees  turn  over  a  new 
leaf,  and  give  iheir  attention  to  the  collection  of  the  true  sources 
of  American  history,  regardless  of  the  language  in  which  thpy 
are  written,  measuring  their  purchases  rather  by  the  capacities

of  their  purses  and  shelves  than  by  their  knowledge  of  the 
subjects.  It  is  proverbial  that  the  better  and  more  conscien- 
tious of  the  American  historians  break  down  with  their  labors 
before  they  have  collected  their  materials,  or  they  are  driven 
abroad  to  mouse  out  in  foreign  countries  and  foreign  lan- 
guages what  ought  to  be  at  home  at  their  service  in  the 
public  libraries.  It  is  requiring  too  much  of  our  historians, 
besides  their  reference  books  and  general  tools,  to  oblige 
them  to  procure  for  themselves  these  thousand-and-one  ex- 
pensive out-of-the-way  helps.  They  should  belong  to  the 
public,  and  should  be  collected  rather  than  the  common 
evei'y-day  ones,  if  all  cannot  be  had. 

When  it  is  fairly  comprehended  by  our  curators,  with  their 
large  funds  and  hungry  alcoves,  that  probably  more  than  five 
sixths  of  all  the  books  pertaining  to  the  discovery,  exploration, 
and  development  of  our  young  Hemisphere  born  since  the 
Printing-Press,  are  in  the  languages  of  Spain,  Portugal,  Italy, 
Holland,  and  France,  it  is  not  unlikely  that  even  committees 
who  cannot  read  a  word  of  these  languages,  or  librarians  who 
cannot  catalogue  the  b^^'  ,  rather  than  other  Motleys  should 
be  driven  abroad  i  .^ich  of  what  ought  to  be  found  at 
home,  will  venture  to  buy  such  books  on  trust,  on  the  new 
and  growing  principle  that  a  public  library  should  lead  and 
not  follow  the  wants  of  scholars.  The  narrow  remark,  hith- 
erto often  heard,  that  Dutch  books  are  not  read,  and  the 
Portuguese  ones  never  called  for,  will  probably  not  much 
longer  be  repeated  by  librarians  who  make  any  pretensions  to 
the  collection  of  materials  of  American  history.  One  might 
as  well  attempt  to  write  the  history  of  New  England  with- 
out a  knowledge  of  the  English  language,  as  a  iiistory  of  New 
York  without  the  Dutch,  or  of  Brazil  without  the  Portu- 
guese, of  Mexico  without  the  Spanish,  or  Canada  without  the 
French.  A  very  considerable  proportion  of  our  earliest  and 
best  geographical  books  are  in  Latin  and  no  other  language. 
Many  of  our  earliest  maps  are  by  German  geographers  ;  and 
in  order  to  comprehend  their  lines  and  see  as  they  saw,  the 
modern  historian  must  divest  himself  of  his  native  shackles,

stand  in  their  shoes,  take  the  same  inland  views,  and  study 
under  the  same  circumstances.  He  must  read  the  same  re- 
ports of  the  navigators,  in  the  same  languages,  and  he  will 
most  likely  by  this  process  see  the  blunders  that  very  early 
confused  the  geographers,  and  have  since  puzzled  the  histo- 
rians. Bring  all  these  books,  maps,  and  languages  together, 
and  the  sun  will  rise.  We  shall  then  ascertain  our  historical 
bearings,  and  know  whither  and  how  far  we  have  drifted 
these  four  hundred  years.  Our  moorings  to  the  apron-strings 
of  the  Old  World  will  be  cut,  and  the  two  hemispheres  will 
revolve  as  loving  companions  and  equals  in  the  w^altz  of  the 
spheres.  It  is  difficult  at  this  late  day  to  attempt  anything 
like  a  complete  collection  of  the  history  and  literature  of  the 
Old  World,  but  it  is  unpardonable  to  neglect  that  of  the 
New.  The  mere  difficulty  of  language  is  not  insurmountable. 
Did  not  an  editor  of  the  North  American  Review  learn  the 
Spanish  language  that  he  might  write  understandingly  of  the 
South  American  Republics?  And  would  not  Southcy's 
History  of  Brazil  have  been  a  far  better  book  had  he  given 
the  same  pi'ominence  to  the  numerous  Dutch  works  on  his 
subject  that  he  did  to  the  Portuguese  ? 

Some  folks  affect  to  despise  translations,  and  divers  edi- 
tions. It  is  not  so  with  the  true  historian  and  experienced 
researcher.  A  good  translation  is  itself  occasionally  a  useful 
comment  on  the  original  work,  and  moreover,  the  translator 
being  often  better  up  in  the  subject  treated  than  the  author 
himself,  sometimes  corrects  many  errors,  and  makes  valuable 
additions.  There  are  dozens  of  such  examples  recorded  in 
this  Catalogue,  /.  ^.  see  1^°  878  Hearne,  and  N°  1562  Pike. 
Again,  other  important  books  are  known  to  us  only  through 
translations,  as  N°  460,  the  Life  of  Columbus  by  his  son.  A 
comparison  of  the  English  and  French  editions  of  N°  249, 
Bouquet's  Account  of  the  Expedition  against  the  Ohio  In- 
dians, is  a  notable  instance  in  favor  of  the  translation,  which 
contains  a  valuable  Life  of  Bouquet,  not  in  the  original.  The 
superiority  of  niany  Dutch  editions  over  the  original  works  is 
proverbial.     The  plates  and  maps  are  almost  always  far  supe-

rior,  and  the  translator  is  generally  an  expert.  The.  French, 
English,  German,  Spanish,  Swedish,  and  American  books 
relating  to  America  translated  into  Dutch  are  very  numerous, 
and  generally,  in  some  respects,  possess  points  superior  to  the 
originals,  insomuch  that,  as  far  as  the  department  of  Amer- 
ican history  is  concerned,  all  such  books  should  be  accessible 
somewhere  in  America.  On  the  other  hand,  translations  are 
important  sometimes  from  their  very  badness  or  untrust- 
worthiness,  and  should  be  preserved  in  our  most  important 
libraries  as  a  means  of  tracing  to  their  true  source  misstate- 
ments and  falsehoods.  How  manv  misstatements  are  attrib- 
uted  to  Herrera,  which  can  be  traced  no  nearer  that  author 
than  Capt.  John  Stevens'  English  translation  and  abridg- 
ment, in  six  volumes  ?  It  is  absolutely  necessary  to  study 
this  latter  book  to  see  where  so  many  English  and  American 
authors  have  taken  incorrect  facts.  So  of  ma  y  French  and 
German  translations  which  are  the  parents  of  errors  sworn 
on  to  the  original  authors. 

Worse  still,  it  is  not  unfrequently  necessary  for  an  historian 
to  be  acquainted  with  a  book  only  to  be  certain  that  it  is 
good  for  nothing.  There  are  many  such  in  this  Catalogue, 
and  some  of  them  will  very  properly  bring  good  prices  too. 
They  have  good  titles,  and  read  well.  Such  a  book  is  Pe- 
ters' History  of  Connecticut,  N"  486,  a  book  of  not  half 
the  historical  value  of  Knickerbocker's  New  York,  and  with- 
out any  of  its  wit.  Yet  it  has  often  been  quoted  by  French 
and  German  authors  as  true  history.  The  writer  has  before 
him  a  remarkable  book  of  this  good-for-nothing  kind,  of  ex- 
cessive rarity  if  not  unique.  It  was  reprinted  some  years 
ago  at  Rouen,  in  fifty  copies,  which  reprint  is  now  almost  as 
rare  as  the  original.  The  original  will  be  sought,  now  that 
its  title  has  got  into  catalogues,  as  ardently  as  if  it  had  any 
historical  value.  The  title  is,  "  Relation  du  Voyage  des

Tiie  editor,  in  behalf  of  his  rumerous  notes,  historical,  bio- 
graphical, explanatory,  geog/aphical,  bibliographical,  gossipy, 
and  personal,  desires  it  to  be  understood  that  they  are  to  be 
taken  at  what  they  are  worth,  he  having  given  them  only 
where  he  had  something  to  say,  or  some  duty  to  perform  either 
to  himself  or  to  the  public,  and  that  they  are  not  designed  to 
force  up  the  prices  of  the  particular  lots  to  which  they  are 
attached  ;  but  are  intended  rather  to  shed  a  bibliographical 
flavor  over  the  entire  Catalogue.  Most  of  the  better  and 
rarer  lots  of  known  and  prime  importance  are  recorded  with- 
out comment,  as  Mather's  IMagnalia,  Hazard's  State  Papers, 
etc.,  the  titles  sufficiently  explaining  themselves.  On  the 
other  hand,  many  of  the  moi*e  elaborate  notes,  some  of  them 
not  complimentary  to  the  books,  will  cost  far  more  in  printing 
than  the  lots  will  sell  for.  Neither  has  he  indulged  in  over- 
much bibliographical  quiddling  about  the  mechanical  and 
manufacturing  points  of  the  books,  as  to  the  quantity  of  the 
paper,  the  quality  of  the  binding,  the  brilliancy  of  impres- 
sions, the  crushed  levant  (whatever  that  new-fangled  term 
may  mean)  add  the  number  of  copies  of  certain  recent  re- 
prints, the  inertia  of  which  on  shelves  it  is  hard  to  overcome. 
It  is  not  easy  to  convey  any  adequate  idea  of  a  large  un- 
common collection,  like  this,  short  of  a  patient  reading  of  the 
entire  Catalogue  from  end  to  end.  The  editor  therefore  has 
exercised  his  ingenuity  to  sweeten  the  labor,  and  thinks  per- 
haps it  may  bait  the  attention  of  the  indifferent  reader  to  be 
informed  that  in  the  General  Histories  of  North  and  South 
America  there  are  many  works  of  authors  such  as  Acosta, 
Anglerius,  Apollonius,  Barcia,  Barlajus,  Benzoni,  Clavigero, 
Eden,  Hazard,  Herrera,  Labat,  Laet,  Lafitau,  Las  Casas,  Pe- 
ter Martyr,  De  Solis,  Garcilasso  de  la  Vega,  etc.  In  local 
and  particular  history  of  Colonies,  States,  cities,  towns,  vil- 
higes  and  parishes,  the  titles  are  too  many  to  specify  here. 
In  bibliography,  the  reader  is  invited  to  consult  the  Cata-

on  the  natural  history  of  this  Continent,  not  the  least  curious 
of  which  is  N°  243o,  wherein  the  learned  author  endeavors  to

This  higiily  important  Collection  of  the  earliest  and  best  Spanish  works  on  the 
Discovery  and  History  of  America,  has  now  become  exceedingly  rare.  The 
learned  and  enterprising  editor  died  while  tiie  various  works  were  passing 
through  the  press.  They  are  all  printed  as  separate  and  distinct  works.  Some 
of  the  parts  were  sold  separately  and  others  were  not  cared  for.  The  labor  of 
Collection  was  posthumous.  It  is  therefore  ditKcuIt  to  tell  precisely  how  the 
several  pieces  should  be  arranged,  or  what  constitutes  an  entirely  complete  set, 
as  the  printing  occupied  more  than  twenty  ye,  -s.  This  set  is  bound  in  three 
volumer.,  and  contains.  Vol.  I.  1.  The  Life  of  Christopher  Columbus  by  his  son 
Ferdinand,  retranslated  into  Spanish  from  the  Italian  of  Alfonso  de  Ulloa",  128  pp.; 

2.  The  Second,  Third  and  Fourth  Relations  of  Cortes  (the  first  lost)  150  pp. ;

This  rare  book  lias  hitherto  been  vahied  by  American  Collectors,  mainly  because 
it  contains  an  early  reprint  of  the  celebrated  Letter  of  Columbus,  written  from 
Lisbon,  in  March,  1493,  to  Raphael  Sanxis,  respecting  his  discovery  by  a  western 
route  of  certain  Islands  of  India  beyond  the  Ganges.  But  the  collection  of  these 
six  documents  in  one  volume  has  a  peculiar  appropriateness  in  exhibiting,  in  a 
striking  manner,  the  grand  features  of  the  gigantic  struggle  of  seven  hundred 
years  lietween  the  Christians  and  Mohammedans.  Mohammedanism  witlistood  the 
Crusades  and  the  subsequent  wars,  but  it  yielded  after  the  fall  of  Granada,  when 
Columbus  gave  a  new  world  to  Christendom,  and  the  I'ortuguese  went  forth  to 
explore  and  Christianize  the  East.

The  highest  interest  and  importance  attach  to  this  beautiful  volume  from  the 
fact  that  it  is  the  earliest  book  in  which  there  is  a  full  account  of  the  First  Voyage 
of  Columbus,  alter  the  great  discoverer's  own  letter,  in  1493.  J t  passed  throngh 
many  editions,  but  this  is  the  first  in  which  appears  the  Chapter  iJe  quatuor  per- 
I  vwxhilia  insulix  in  india  extra  orbem  niiper  inreiitis  [per  Clirislophurum  C'olumhum.] 
Anything  printed  prior  to  the  first  Decade  of  I'eter  Martyr,  in  1511  is  of  priceless 
value  in  early  American  History.  This  edition  though  alluded  to  b\'  the  learned 
French  Uibliographer,  Monsieur  Harrisse,  is  not  described  by  him,  that  of  1500 
being  the  first  recorded  by  him.

RAUK  IN  THIS  STATK.  8"  Loudon,  l()7!)-ir)0o 

Tliis  volmno  is  from  tlu!  library  of  the  late  II.  T.  Hicki.k,  bcarin;;;  his  No. 
2,(i2:!,  oil  liis  l)ook|)hitu.  On  the  riy-leaf  is  carefully  pasted,  in  the  haiid- 
■writiiifr  of  Ihickle,  an  analysis  of  the  voliinie.  with  a  hioKi'aphical  .sketch, 
be^^inning,  "Charles  Hloiint  was  born  in  ](ir)4,  and  in  KiO-'J  shot  iiiniself  in 
cons<'(iiieiice  of  the  absolute  refusal  of  his  late  wil'e".s  sister  to  marry  him." 
Coiisiilerable  interest  attaches  to  this  volume  from  the  fact  that  it  has  been 
cliar}5e<l  upon  IvriiAN  Allkn  that  bis  Vkumont  liim.i;,  or  Ornrles  nf  liiason, 
printed  at  Ueiiiiiiif^ton  in  1788,  was  stolen  in  substance  Irom  Itlount.  It  is 
not  cbarj^ed  that  Allen  ever  saw  IJlount's  Oracles,  but  that  ainoiif;  bis  frienils 
he  numbered  one  Thomas  Yoiinp,  a  free-tbinkiiif;,  rovinp  Knf;lishnian,  who 
acted  as  verier  to  Hlonnt's  monuments,  but  bad  not  the  courajU'e  or  power 
to  book  or  publish  his  tenets.  In  Allen  be  found  a  willinfj  disciple,  ambi- 
tious of  literary  eminence.  IJIount  believed  in  (iod,  one  and  indivisible;  in 
the  authenticity  of  the  Scriptures;  and  in  a  future  state  of  rewards  and  pun- 
ishments; but  denied  Oriyinal  .Sin.  Allen  fij;ures  up  at  about  the  same  total. 
"  Old  Ktli:in  once  said  witli  ^i^;l)iti(•llnt  noil, 

Tliout^li  1  linlil  not  with  .Icsiis.  1  know  there's  a  God  ; 

Thei-'-'s  n  ilcvil  al«o ;  you  will  see  him  some  day, 

111  a  whirlwiml  of  tiro  take  Levi  awiiy." 
;  Blount  himself  is  aciised  of  stealing;  and  transiatinf:;  his  Oracles  from  a  French 
book  called  The  llijiHithcMS  of  the  I'rcB-Aildinilcs.  Where  the  anonymous 
nulhor  stole  his  Oracles  is  not  stated.  In  this  volume  is  a  f^reat  deal,  both  by 
Blount  and  his  editor,  about  the  ri;^ht  and  wroiifj  of  marrying  a  deceased 
wife's  sii-ter.  He  would,  she  wouldn't.  So  still  arguiiif^  from  the  same 
monitor  within,  and  believing,  that  "  I  myself  am  King  of  Me,"  siiot  himscll'; 
and  hence  bis  friendly  editor's  diM'ence  of  suicide.  All  these  things  and  much 
more,  the  iiurcbaser  of  this  curious  volume,  if  he  tinds  the  thread,  may  spin  out 
by  himself.

obligation  of  secrecy  was  removed  he  invited  the  distinguished  baronet  who 
now  jiosscs^es  the  collection,  to  breakfast,  and  communicated  to  him  the  circnin-

Considerable  interest  attaches  to  this  vcrj'  rare  book,  in  consequence  of  the 
alann  that  it  raised  in  New  England,  and  the  litigation  that  ensued.  The  book 
itself  is  Leslie's  well  known  Short  and  Knsie  Mtlhixl,  but  in  reprinting  it  Check- 
ley  appended  a  Discourse  concerning  Episcopacy,  wherein  he  emleavors  to 
prove  that  Dissenters  not  being  Episcopally  ordained,  are  no  ministers,  etc., 
an<l  comments  rather  harshlv  u|K)n  the  Church  (bourses  of  New  England.  This 
gave  great  ofltnce  and  Checkley  was  prosecuted  in  1724  in  tin;  Inferior  Court  of 
Boston  for  publishing  " a  false  and  scpndalons  libel.''  lie  was  cnnvii'tc!,  but 
appealed  to  the  Su|)erior  Court,  where  alter  a  lung  si)eecli  in  his  own  defence, 
the  jury  brought  in  a  verdict  against  him.  Checkley  then  put  in  a  "  I'lea  in  ar- 
rest of  .Judgment,"  which  is  given  in  extenso  in  his  speecli,  but  the  Court  seu- 
tcnceil  him  to  pay  .£.5'^  to  the  king,  and  give  security  fur  his  good  behavior.

596  DRAKE  (Mrs.  Joaxa)  Troddkn  dowx  Strknotii,  by 
the  God  of  Strength,  or,  Mrs.  Drake  Revived,  showing  her 
strange  and  rare  Case,  great  and  manifold  afflictions,  for  tennc 
years  together.  Related  by  her  friend  Hart  On-hi.  Vellum, 
short  copy,  some  leaves  clipped.  16"  London,  1647 

The  interest  to  New  Kn(;1an*lers  of  this  curious  book  centres  not  in  tlie  main 
rtibject  but  in  what  is  incidentally  tuld  ot'  one  of  her  opiritual  advisers.  Mnt. 
I>rake  was  a  half  crazed  relipous  enthusiast,  whose  spiritual  health  retjuired 
constant  wrestling;  with  Satan  and  Doctors  of  Divinity.  Possessed  of  pro{)erty, 
her  husband  pmcured  the  Kev.  Mr.  Dod,  who  for  three  years  disputed  con- 
stantly with  all  her  temptations  and  objections,  "  and  was  able  to  answer  all,'' 
but  beinf;  oblijjed  to  leave,  he  bniked  about  for  another  helper.  ''  In  which  in- 
terim, notice  was  jjiven  unto  him  of  one  Mr.  Hookkk  then  at  Cambridge,  now 
in  New  Kngland:  A  threat  .Scholar,  an  acute  Disputant,  a  strong  learned,  a  wise 
modest  man.  every  way  rarely  qualitied;  who  being  a  Xon-confomiitan  in 
judgment,  not  willing  to  tremble  hiniselfe  with  PrtstnUitice  Livings,  was  con- 
tented and  jiersuaded  bv  Mr.  D<>d  to  accept  of  that  poore  Living  of  40^  per 
annum;  Mr.  Drake  her  ilu>band  being  a  worthy  well-beloved  (ientlemun,  and 
able  to  procure  his  liberty,  and  retaine  him  still  in  the  same:  This  wurtby  man 
accepted  of  the  place,  having  wiihall,  his  dyet  and  lodgiiigat  Ksher  Mr.  Drake's 
hou>e.''  p.  117.  "This  man,  Mr.  Hooker  being  a  good,  acute,  »HMr/  I'reacher 
when  be  listed,  besides  that  infonnilinn  Mr.  Dod  had  given  him,  was  so  wise, 
first  to  try  her  spirit,"  etc.  p.  ll'J.  "  For  Mr.  Hooker  being  newly  come  from 
the  I'niversity  had  a  new  answering  methodu  (though  the  same  things)  where- 
with shee  was  mervellously  delighted,"  etc.  p.  120.  Mr.  Hooker  lived  long  in 
this  family,  till  she  imagined  "  her  time  on  earth  was  but  of  small  continuance. 
About  which  time  it  fell  out,  that  Mr.  Hooker  also  having  acted  his  part  with 
her,  and  done  his  best,  to  comtbrt.  uphold  and  rectilie  her  spirit,  so  fitting  her 
for  mercy,  as  nothing  remained  to  l)e  done  but  a  full  gaile  of  spintuull  winde  to 
blow  upon  her,  to  bring  forth  her  fruit,  that  by  (Jod's  providence  he  was  mar- 
ried unto  her  waiting-woman:  .\fter  which  both  of  them  having  lived  some  time 
after  with  her,  and  he  cal'd  to  be  Lecturer  at  Chelmsford  in  Ksse.x,  they  l>oth 
left  her,"  etc.  These  early  glimpses  of  one  of  the  most  honored  of  our  New 
England  fathers,  are  refreshing.

the  fnrm  and  shape  of  the  lightning  rods.  Instead  of  being  pointed  or  square,  u 
discussed  in  the  Koyal  Society  of  London,  this  writer  thi'iks  the  form  of  a  cross 
would  better  secure  the  desired  protection.  The  Holy  Cross  always  strikes  ctr- 
tain  terror  into  the  malignant  spirits  of  the  clouds,  so  that  if  Fr'anklln'f  »t(«'. 
points  were  arranged  in  the  form  of  a  cross  they  would  become  a  mure  Mcun 
protection  against  tlie  insults  of  the  lightning!

methodical,  of  a  young  savant,  ]M.  IlAiiiassE,  a  Frenchman  by  origin.  I  am 
happy  to  add  that  the  first  duty  of  your  reporter  is  to  render  to  tin;  author,  in 
the  name  of  the  Geographical  Society  of  I'aris,  an  homage,  let  us  rather  say  a 
justice,  which  to  the  present  hour,  has  not  been  rendered  to  liim  elsewliere  tliiui 
in  France.  I  am  not  here  to  examine  for  what  reason  the  country  to  whicli  this 
usefid  work  does  so  much  honor  has  remained  indifferent  to  the  publication  of 
this  new  and  unique  repertorj' which  will  henceforth  serve  as  the  necessary  guide 
to  the  future  historians  of  the  discovery  and  cou<inest  of  the  New  World."  .... 
"  The  well  known  impartiality  of  our  Society  makes  it  my  duty  to  declare  at 
once  that  there  has  not  hitherto  been  published  a  more  useful  book  for  the  prep- 
aration of  the  American  history  of  the  sixteenth  century,  and  I  hasten  to  add 
that  this  judgment,  for  it  is  not  a  persunal  opinion,  is  already  confirmed  by  the 
special  men  of  both  worlds,  who  pass  as  the  best  arbiters  in  these  matters,  M. 
IcAZHALOKT.v  of  Me.xico,  whose  most  complete  approbation  without  any  re- 
striction, I  have  now  before  me;  RI.d'AvE/AC,  a  judge  so  competent  in  learned 
bibliography,  who  has  presented  M.  Harris.se's  works  to  the  Academj'  of  Iiiscrip- 
tions  and  Belles  Lettres  (Session  of  the  10th  Aug.  1806)  accompanying  this

Gavanoos  and  Zakco  del  Valle,  of  Madrid,  not  to  cite  the  favorable  testi- 
monies of  savants  who  are  particularly  known  to  me.  M.  Harrisse  has,  as  we 
see,  something  in  the  applause  of  such. judges  to  sup|)ort  unjust  or  tlimsy  criti- 
cism, and  to  have  confidence  in  a  work  to  which  the  future  belongs."  .  .  .  . 
"  Tiud  which  cannot  enough  be  praised  in  this  immense  woi'k,  is  the  vigorous 
nu'thdd  which  the  author  has  followed,  and  which  it  will  be  permitted  to  us  to 
call  by  its  true  name,  the  French  Method.  He  has  not  lost  .«ight,  even  in  his 
long  dissertations,  that  he  is  a  bibliograpiier,  as  such,  charged  with  offering  to  tiie 
eriKlite  public  all  the  documents,  and  accompanying  them  with  their  historical 
justification,  never  thinking  that  he  was  permitted  to  set  forth  his  own  opinion. 
He  applied  himself  to  correct  all  the  errors  running  through  the  histor}',  but  iil- 
ways  in  bringing  forward  proofs  by  facts,  and  never  conjecture  by  reasoning. 
Every  book  is  described  de  «««,"  etc.  —  "  It  will  be  understood  that  M.  Harrisse's 
work,  in  spite  of  the  exceptional  interest  which  tlie  numerous  dissertations  it 
comprises  present,  is  not  one  of  those  which  can  be  read  consecutively  and  all  at 
a  breath.  I  shall  add  that  there  are  very  few  readers  sutKcienfly  competent  in 
each  of  the  branches  of  American  history  to  discover  the  errors  of  a  man  so 
learned  as  M.  Ilarrisse."  .  ..."  I  must  still  add,  to  be  just,  that  M.  Ilar- 
risse  has  a|)plied  to  the  accomplishment  of  his  task  as  mnch  abnegation  as  zeal 
and  intelligence.  He  has  given,  without  pretending  to  derive  from  it  any  ma- 
terial t'ruit,  all  his  time  to  the  editing  and  tyj)(igrai)hical  direction  of  an  admira- 
ble collection,  the  Fin.fT  spkcijien  ok  Ameiucan  ekupitton,  and  the  repertory 
henceforth  indispensable  to  all  serious  study  of  the  conquest  ol^  America,"  —  and 
so  on  through  a  dozen  pages.  It  will  perhaps  be  an  act  of  simple  justice  to  one 
of  the  half  dozen  "  arbiters  "  named  above  to  add  that  he  told  the  writer,  that 
his  iudorsemcnt  and  recommendation  of  the  book  consisted  in  a  bareh'  civil 
acknowledgment  of  a  presentation  copy  with  a  few  commonplace  compliments. 
Me  could  not,  he  thought,  under  the  ciicunii-tances,  have  written  less,  and 
was  consefiuently  much  surprised  at  the  use  made  of  his  letter. 
As  there  are  two  sides  to  the  Atlantic,  so  there  apjiear  to  l)e  two  opinions  as  to  the 
merits  of  this  book.  M.  Harrisse  througliout  his  work  had  played  swagger  to  a 
certain  Vermonter  who  had  for  some  time  resided  abroad,  and  to  whom  he  was 
much  indebted.  iM.  Ilarrisse  undertook  to  befoul  him  with  many  untruthful 
flings,  insomuch  that  in  the  London  Atlienauni  of  the  Cth  of  Oct.  18CG,  this  (i. 
M.  li.  telt  it  a  duty  to  himself  as  well  as  to  the  public  to  apply  publicly  the  beech 
sv'd,  a  remedy  which  the  early  Green  Mountain  Hoys  always  found  effectual  with 
trespassing  Yorkers.  After  bringing  him  to  with  a  blank  cartridge  and  cur- 
sorily examining  his  papers,  and  taking  poor  Andkis  Schiffahht  under  his 
protection,  this  obscure  writer  concludes  his  fou''  columns  with  the  following 
brief  summary.  "The  book  at  bottom  is  not  a  oadone;  but  the  author  has 
made  it  a  mere  fact-bag  and  crammed  it  with  no  end  of  extraneous  matter. 
Like  the  jackdaw  he  does  not  appear  to  be  able  to  resist  anything  brii/ht,  but 
picks  it  up  regardless  of  its  use  or  relevancy.  The  style  of  printing  the  titles  in 
(ipimvent  facsimile  misleads,  and  is  a  mistake.  The  collations  are  often  obscure 
and  not  precise  enough.  There  is  a  distressing  want  of  uniformity  in  the  orthog- 
ra|)liy  of  names  of  places  and  persons.  The  mis-spelling  of  names  is  astound- 
ing. It  is  no  exaggeration  to  sa)' that  \\w  evvithi  of  names  alone  will  make  a 
list  of  500.  Two  persons  are  made  of  one  ;  one  is  made  of  two.  Some  are 
created  altogether,  witness  Ander  Schifl'ahrt.  Chronology  is  sot  rt  detiance. 
(ieography  is  obscured.  History  is  in  a  nuidillo.  (Jrainmar  and  tl  e  Queen's 
Knglish  tortured,  if  not  murdered.  Arknowlf<igmeiits  are  generaliy  wanting 
where  most  required,  and  often  given  where  not  deserved,  'the  index,  though 
extremely  full,  is  not  trustworthy,  names  being  left  out  of  it  purposely,  or  cer- 
tainly not  by  accident.  Evidences  of  bad  temper  are  abundant,  and  flippant 
<!iiigs,  which  can  always  be  parried.  are))lenly.  M.  Harrisse  quotes  largely  at 
second-hand,  and  omits  to  mention  the  books  most  used.  His  general  and  par- 
ticular scholarship  is  lamentably  detlcient,  liis  pedantry  and  plagiarism  manifest, 
his  want  of  courtesy  to  predecessors  and  fellow-laborers,  his  spite  and  obscure 
vision  as  to  the  wants  of  others,  are  api)arent  thoughout.  These  are  some  of  the 
faults  which  should  be  looked  to  in  a  future  edition.  I  hear  with  feeling  akin 
to  national  pride  that  the  author  of  the  Hiiiliotiieca  Amkhioana  Vkti'stih- 
siMA  is  not  an  American,  and  that  therefore  this  book  cannot  fairly  he  charged 
to  American  scholarship."    One  hundred  extra  copies  of  this  number  of  the

Samuel  Hutchinson,  the  author  of  this  extraordinary  and  rare  compilation,  was  a 
brother  of  William,  the  father  of  Anne  Hutchinson,  the  ftroMK-niinded  of  New 
England  200  years  ago.  He  was  a  Fifth-monarchy  man,  and  hns  here  not  only 
set  fortli  his  own  views  both  in  prose  and  verse,  but  has  collected  the  opinions  of 
competent  writers  of  the  old  world  and  the  new  upon  the  establisliinent  of  the 
Filth  Kingdom,  that  of  Christ,  the  new  Heaven  and  the  new  Karlh.  His  princi- 
pal paper  is  "  A  Letter  sent  to  a  Friend  in  Old  England  concerning  the  I'ersoiial 
Monarcliical  Keign  of  Christ  with  the  Saints  here  upon  Karlh,  being  an  Answer 
to  a  Letter  sent  from  Old  England  to  New  in  1659."  He  does  not  go  so  far  as 
a  subsequent  American  writer  of  tbia  latitude,  and  intimate  that  New  England 
is  to  be  the  Mew->Jerusalem.

Dk.  Fkanklin,  it  is  believed,  caused  this  volume  to  be  issued  in  London,  in 
January,  1775.  Its  eflfect  was  startling,  for  it  proclaimed  to  the  disscriniinuting 
British  Public  (if  there  was  at  that  time  such  a  body)  that  the  Kn^liisli  Inn- 
guage  had  acquired  new  vigor  and  clearness  in  being  transplanted  to  the 
Western  shores.  The  pith,  point,  and  force  of  these  Public  Papers,  astonished 
the  politicians  and  statesmen  of  Westminster,  and  delighted  the  friends  of  the 
Colonies.  The  Original  Petition  of  the  Continental  Congress  to  the  King 
dated  Oct.  26, 1774,  from  which  the  above  was  printed,  containing  the  signatures 
of  (ittj'  of  the  Delegates,  after  the  manner  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence, 
and  second  only  in  historical  importance  to  that  Document,  is  now  in  the  pos-

To  foiTn  a  comolete  collection  of  the  Relations  or  annual  reports  of  the  Jesuit 
missionaries  in  Canada,  on  the  Korders,  and  in  the  Great  North  West  from 
about  1630  to  1080  has  been  the  laudable  ambition  of  many  American  collectors, 
but  few  if  any  have  succeeded.  Including  the  various  editions  there  are  nearly 
50  volumes.  A  perfect  set  is  the  pom  nsinm-um  of  the  American  collector.  Tin 
historical  and  geographical  importance  of  these  volumes  cannot  well  be  over- 
stated.

silvania,  &c.,  are  like  so  many  Independent  Sovereignties,  having  the  Klection

ecticut ;  or  depending  on  some  Persons  in  England.  ...  As  the  Jersies 
and  I'ensilvania,"  etc.,  and  are  likely  to  divert  Trade  from  the  Mother  Country,  by 
running  tobacco  and  other  produce  to  Scotland,  Holland,  and  elsewhere,  con- 
trary to  the  recent  laws  against  piracy,  that  is  illegal  trade.  He  prays  Parlia- 
ment therefore  to  "remove  all  the  Calamities  that  attend  these  Colonies, 
through  their  want  of  Unity  bv  reassuming  that  part  of  the  Grants  pretended 
to  by  the  Proprietors  of  Conecticut,  Rhode  Island,  Kast  and  West  Jersies,  Pen-

This  book  of  MacKenzie  is  one  of  the  best  of  the  kind  we  have,  and  is  already  of 
very  considerable  value  to  the  American  historian  and  topographer,  but  when 
the  vast  country  over  which  he  travelled  shall  have  been  developed  it  will 
become  indispensable.

With  the  Charter  of  the  Society,  and  an  account  of  its  proceedings  1776-7. 
Above  100  missionaries  were  scattered  throughout  the  American  Colonies  nt 
the  breaking  out  of  the  Rebellion  [American  Revolution].  The  report  of  their 
proceedings  in  1776  reads  strangely  now  "  In  July  last,  the  Congress  thought 
proper  to  make  an  explicit  declaration  of  independence  by  which  all  connec- 
tion with  Great  Britain  was  to  be  broken  off,  and  the  Americans  released  from 
any  alliance  to  our  gracious  Sovereign."  This  declaration  increased  the  em- 
barrassment of  the  clergy.  To  ofliciate  publicly,  and  not  pray  for  the  king 
and  royal  family,  according  to  the  Liturgy,  was  against  their  duty  and  oath,  as 
well  as  dictates  of  their  conscience;  thev  therefore  almost  all  of  them  shut 
up  their  churches.  '"The  venerable  Mr.  fieach  of  Newtown  in  Connecticut  is 
alone  to  bo  excepted"  — and  upon  being  warned  of  his  danger,  said  with  the 
firmrii'ss  and  spirit  of  a  primitive  confessor  ''that  he  would  do  his  duty,  preach, 
and  pray  for  the  King  'till  the  rebels  cut  out  his  tongue."

Folio,  Basilite,  apud  Andream  Cratandrum,  Januario,  1522 
The  stniy  of  thin  Book  is  too  long  to  be  told  here,  but  it  has  played,  and  is  still 
destined  to  p|ay,  a  prominent  part  in  the  early  geofjraphical  historj'  of  this 
continent.  The  editor's  real  name  was  Joacliim  Watt,  born  at  St  Gall,  in 
Switzerland,  November  29, 1484,  but  educated  chiefly  at  Vienna.  Althouffh  a 
classical  scholar,  theologian,  and  poet,  he  seems  to  have  been  an  arduous 
student  of  geopraphy.  In  fact  the  best  books  we  have  on  the  peograithical 
effects  of  the  discoveries  of  Columbus,  Vespucci,  the  Cabots,  Dias,  Da  Gamn, 
Cabral,  etc.,  came  from  two  distinct  fraternities  of  students;  the  one  at  St  Ui(*, 
of  whom  Philesius  was  the  soul,  and  the  other  at  Vienna,  of  whom  Vadianus 
was  the  movinf;  opirit.  It  will  not  be  difficult,  probably,  to  show  a  connection 
between  these  two  gymnasiums.  Indeed,  this  volume"  helps  ns  to  many  im- 
portant facts.  From  St  Di^  came  the  suggestion'to  name  the  Mundui  Noius  of 
Vespucci  America,  and  in  1512  Vadianus,  in  his  letter  to  Apricola,  Jr..  adopts 
the  snppestion.  This  letter  was  printed  by  Agricola  in  July,  1514,  in  small  4to, 
and  dedicated  to  their  mutual  friend  Caspar  Velius,  of  Ursina,  in  Silicia.  The 
game  year  Lucas  Atlantse,  an  enterprising  publisher  of  Vienna,  announced 
as  having  on  his  anvils  the  works  of  SoMNVa,  to  be  edited  by  Camera,  and 
PoMPONius  Mkla,  by  Vadianus.  Vadianus  finished  his  large  work  and  it  was 
published  in  1518.  In  his  prolegomena  he  speaks  of  the  necessity,  to  a  proper 
understanding  of  the  subject,  of  having  the  prominent  places  pictured  on  a  map. 
Young  Apianus,  another  student  at  Vienna,  was  then  at  work  upon  his  great 
map  of  the  world,  but  this  was  not  finished  till  1520,  when  it  appeared  with  the 
SoLiNus  of  Camers.  This  map,  the  first  one  known  with  the  name  America, 
was  no  doubt  intended  for  both  the  Pomponius  Mela  and  the  Solinus.  These 
two  books  are  uniform  in  size,  and  after  1520  were  issued  together,  and  the 
map  when  found  at  all,  is  usually  bound  in  the  middle,  between  the  two. 
Vadianus  returned  to  St  Gall,  his  native  place,  and  practiced  as  a  phvsician, 
but  kept  up  till  long  after  his  interest  in  geographical  studies,  tiaving 
qunrrplled  with  Camers,  he  reedited  his  Pomponius  Mela,  and  caused  it  to  be 
reissued  at  Basil  in  1622  (this  edition),  inscribing  it,  in  an  explanatorj-  letter, 
dated  at  St  Gall  in  April,  1521,  to  his  friend,  Dr.  John  Faber.  This  was  the 
Faher,  a  native  of  Etaples,  near  Boulop^ne,  a  mathematician,  an  astronomer,  and 
a  geographer,  who  had,  with  others  in  1499  published  at  Venice  that  superb 
edition  of  Sacrobosco,  posting  up  cosmography  and  nautical  astronomy  to  that 
date,  and  who,  as  Professor  at  Paris,  in  1504,  stimulated  his  young  pupil, 
Mathias  Ringman.  to  the  study  of  cosmography.  Ringman,  horn  at  Schles- 
tadt,  not  far  from  Strasburg,  having  read  at  Paris  the  letter  of  Vespucci,  trans- 
lated by  Giocondi.  also  residing  in  Paris,  found  his  youthful  mind  fired  by  it  to 
such  an  extent  that  on  returning  home  he  translated  into  German  and  printed 
at  Strasburg,  in  August,  1605,  Vespucci's  letter.  Ho  soon  after  travelled  into 
Italy,  from  whence  he  brought  back  a  Greek  MS.  of  Ptolemy,  given  him  by 
Pico  de  Mirandola.    This  manuscript  he  took  with  him  to  St  Di^,  in  Lorraine,

This  very  earnest  book  (of  284  pages,  with  8  preliminary  and  2  sequent  leaves) 
is  substantially  a  defense  of  the  Jesuits,  and  their  conduct  and  usefulness  in 
all  parts  of  the  world.  The  author  gives  a  list  of  above  170  authors  whom  he 
quotes,  many  of  them  bearing  testimony  to  the  valuable  services  of  the  Order 
as  missionaries  among  the  heathen  of  both  hemispheres.  He  also  enumer- 
ates the  Popes,  and  other  high  officials  in  the  Church,  who  have  testitied  in 
their  favor,  and  declares  that  the  movement  for  the  suppression  of  the  Order 
was  instigated  by  the  enemies  of  true  Religion,  and  is  headed  by  the  Devil 
in  person.  This  defense  is  strongly  fortified  by  many  historical  allusions  to 
services  in  the  new  world  from  the  time  of  the  entrance  of  the  Dominicans 
into  Mexico  in  the  time  of  Cortes.

This  book  seems  destined  to  live  the  full  ape  allotted  to  a  lie.  Xotliing  has  more 
lives,  or  is  harder  to  kill  than  a  pood  political  lie  well  told,  which  has  once  taken 
in  statesmen,  philosophers,  and  liistonans,  whose  reputation  and  interest  encour- 
age it  to  snrvive.  This  little  book  has  in  its  day  played  its  part  on  many  titages, 
and  its  day  seems  not  j'et  over.  It  has  many  times  been  pronounced  spurious, 
yet  there  are  some  who  still  assert  its  genuineness  <ind  defend  its  authenticity. 
So  it  has  been  from  its  publication  in  March,  1777,  and  so  it  probably  will  be. 
It  comprises  three  long  letters  purporting  to  be  from  the  Marquis  de  Montcalm, 
Governor-general  and  Commander-in-cliiof  of  Canada;  the  lirst  to  M.  do  lier- 
ryer,  First  Commissioner  of  tlie  Marine  of  France,  dated  from  Montreal,  April 

4,  1757;  the  second  to  the  same  ])erson,  dated  also  from  Montreal,  Octolier  1, 
1758;  and  the  third  to  his  cousin,  iil.  de  Mole,  First  President  in  the  I'arlianient 
of  Franco,  dated  at  the  Camp  before  (.Quebec,  August  24,  175'.(,  a  few  days  only 
before  the  fall  of  that  stronghold  into  the  hands  of  the  English  on  the  b'Jth  of 
September,  a  day  forever  memorable  for  its  consequences  to  both  Fnglaiul  and 
France,  and  the  deaths  of  both  of  the  great  Commanders,  Montcalm  and 
WoLFio.  The  lirst  letter  occupies  thirteen  l)ages,  nine  of  which  are  taken  up 
with  the  copy  of  a  letter  to  Montcalm,  from  S.  J.  of  l5oston,  dated  .Tanuary  4, 
1757,  containing  the  cream  and  pith  of  the  whole  three  letters,  which  together 
fill  28  pages  in  Kuglish,  and  the  same  number  in  French.  Thi.s  Hostuii  Spy, 
whoever  he  was,  apjiears  to  have  been  thoroughly  well  acquainted  with  the  his- 
tory, the  powers,  the  aims,  the  interests,  and  the  proclivities  of  the  several  Fng- 
lish  Colonies,  both  as  to  their  relations  to  each  other,  and  individually  and 
collectivelj'  to  Mother  England.  He  jjroposes  to  Montcalm  a  scheme  for  under- 
mining the  power  of  Great  Hritain,  by  encouraging  free  trade  between  France 
and  the  English  Colonies  indirectly  through  Canada.  He  states  the  case  phil- 
osophically, based  upon  well-known  facts,  and  jiredicts  almost  precisely  the 
course  of  events  for  the  next  tifteen  years.  Indeed,  S.  J.  writes  precisely  such 
a  letter  in  1757,  as  a  man  of  great  intelligence  could  only  write  in  1770,  or  1775, 
alter  the  passage  of  the  Stamp  Act  in  1765,  its  repeal  m  176(5,  and  the  various 
other  more  or  less  vindictive  enactments  of  the  Parliament  anent  the  Colonies, 
till  the  pouring  out  of  that  great  vial  of  wrath,  the  Huston  1'out  Bill. 

5.  J.  writes,  page  3,  "  The  commerce  of  all  the  other  Colonies  might  be  drawn  to 
and  tixed  in  Canada;  for  if  you  there  introduce  all  kinds  of  manufactures,  espe- 
cially your  Indian  goods,  from  France,  of  which  the  middling  class  of  our  plant- 
ers are  so  ridiculously  fond ;  if  you  made  considerable  imports  from  Franco  of 
your  brandies,  wines,  and  other  liquors,  you  would  find  drunkards  enough  in  the 
colonies  to  take  them  oif  your  hands:  thus  you  would  soon  ruin  liie  manufac- 
tures of  iMigland,  which  would  soon  tind  no  market  here,  and  <>m  money  would 
circulate  among  your  merchants.     A  double  advantage  would  arise  to  vou  from 

,  this,  since,  while  you  were  enriching  yourselves,  you  would  be  impoverishing 
your  natural  enemies.  It  is  true  that  I'.ngland,  too  clearly  perceiving  her  iip- 
proaching  ruin,  would  not  fail  to  make  heavy  and  loud  complaints.  The  I'ar- 
linment  would  immediately  pass  bills  to  suppress  this  commerce,  so  ruinous  to 
their  nation;  ....  a  secret  and  fraudulent  trade  may  enrich  an  individual, but

the  commerce  of  an  extensive  country  must  bo  open,  free  and  unfettered.  Let 
your  Kxcelleucy,  from  hence,  learn  to  know  us."  Again  on  page  5:  "Among 
us,  no  act  of  Parliament,  or  order  from  the  throne,  lias  the  force  of  a  law,  or  can 
be  put  in  execution,  till  after  it  has  been  agreed  to  and  accepted  in  our  general 
assemblies.  Though  these  assemblies  have  not  yet  the  jiower  of  makmg  our 
own  laws,  yet  they  have  at  least  the  privilege  of  refusing  those  which  are  inju- 
rious and  ruinous  to  the  countrv;  and  perhaps  the  day  is  not  far  distant,  wlieu 
they  will  reject  bills  passed  in  England,  though  invested  with  the  highest  au- 
thority. Can  you  think  that  the  members  of  these  general  assemblies  will  bo 
such  enemies  to  themselves  and  their  country,  as  meanly  to  submit  to  the  orders 
of  England,  sliould  they  take  it  in  their  lieads  to  compel  us  to  give  them  a 
guinea,  for  what  we  can  purchase  in  Canada,  in  our  own  ports,  for  a  penny?  " 

Speaking  of  the  union  of  the  Colonies,  he  says,  "  The  planters  of  the  difl'erent 
colonies  have  assembled  under  one  standard,  "and  thus  an  acquaintance,  connec- 
tion, and  intercourse  are  established,  and  tlie  union  cemented.  An  important 
step  for  us,  since  we  now  shall,  as  it  were,  go  hand  in  hand  for  the  future.  Our 
rights  will  be  respected,  because  it  would  be  dangerous  to  attack  them."  And 
on  page  8,  "  From  every  circumstance  I  have  the  honor  to  remark  to  you,  it  is 
easy  to  foresee  that  England  would  not  succeed  in  prohibiting  our  commerce 
with  your  colony;  and  I  speak  this  tlui  more  conlidentiy,  as  the  price  of  the 
counnodities  which  are  brought  us  from  England,  begins  to  be  oilensive  in  the 
eves  of  the  multitude,  who,  even  in  the  midst  of  war,  cry  out  loudly  for  procuring 
tiiem  from  some  other  quarter.  If  I  am  not  much  mistaken,  all  our  colonies,  in 
less  than  ten  years,  will  catch  tire  on  this  occasion.  Indeed,  there  are  hardly  any 
means  of  preventing  it,  since  labour  is  at  such  an  exorbitant  rate  in  England:  "a, 
necessary  event  in  a  country  which  has  enriched  itself  considerably  by  com- 
merce; and  hence  follows  the  consequent  rise  of  manufactures  ....  although 
Canada  should  escape  from  the  hands  of  its  masters,  the  day  will  come,  when 
tlie  high  price  of  English  commodities  will  be  such  a  weight  on  our  colonies,  as 
to  oblige  them  to  have  recourse  to  a  stranger;  England  must  then  be  ruined. 
This  prophetic  event  is  the  more  sure,  and  the  sooner  to  be  expected,  as  the 
o|)ulence  of  our  colonies  is  not  everywhere  on  an  equal  footing It  is  un- 
reasonable to  wb  them,  by  forcing  thom  to  buy,  at  a  higli  price,  what  they  can 
have  almost  for  nothing.  Common  interest  will  unite  them,  and  what  will  be 
the  event  of  it?  ....  What  I  dare  previously  assure  you,  from  a  knowledge  of 

our  situation  and  sentiments,  is,  that  F^nglanll  will  fail  the  first  victim 

This  who  lives  Avill  see!  " 

In  transmitting  this  letter,  Montcalm  did  but  little  more  than  endorse  its  sentiments, 
but  in  his  second  letter  a  year  later  he  says,  "  All  these  informations,  which  I 
every  day  receive,  confirm  me  in  my  opinion  that  England  will  one  day  lose 
her  Colonies  on  the  Continent  of  America;  and  if  Canada  should  then  be  m  the 
hands  of  an  able  governor,  who  understands  his  business,  he  will  have  a  thou- 


sand opportunities  of  hastening  the  event ;  this  is  the  only  advantage  wo  can 
reap,  for  all  it  has  cost  us.  As  to  the  English  Colonies,  there  is  one  essential 
point  to  be  considered:  they  have  never  yet  been  taxed,  but  have  always  pre- 
served that  right  to  themselves.  Were  they  [England]  now  to  attempt  it,  I 
liave  certain  assurances  that  the  English  Colonies  would  take  lire,  and  the  (lame 


B 


would  spread  everywhere;  which,  if  properly  fed,  would  embarrass  England  to 
extinguish  it." 

"tit  the  most  pertinent  predictions  are  in  the  third  letter  to  .Mr.  Mok^  filling  nine 
pages.  "  For  more  than  three  months  has  Mr.  Wolfe  been  hanging  on  my 
hands."  "  Ihe  enemy  ruins  us,  but  not  enriches  himself."  "  Nothing,  how- 
ever, is  less  certain:  "the  taking  of  Quebec  depends  on  one  masterly  stroke." 
"They  are  in  a  condition  to  give  us  battle,  which  I  must  not  refuse,  and  which 
I  caniiot  hope  to  gain.  General  Wolfe,  imleed,  if  he  understands  his  business, 
has  only  to  receive  our  fust  lire,  and  then  advancing  briskly  on  my  army,  &c." 
"  The  event  must  decide.  But  of  one  thing  be  certain,  that  1  proliably  sli:ill  not 
survive  the  loss  of  the  Colony."  "  I  shall  iit  least  console  myself  on  my  defeat, 
anil  on  the  loss  of  the  Colony,  by  the  full  persuasion  that  this  defeat  will  one 
day  serve  my  country  more  than  a  victory,  and  that  the  conqueror,  in  aggran- 
dizing himself,  will  find  his  tomb  the  country  he  gains  from  us."  "  All  the 
English  Colonies  would  long  since  have  shaken  off  the  yoke,  each  province 
would  have  formed  itself  into  a  little  indei)endeiit  republic,  if  the  fear  of  seeing  the 
French  nt  their  door  had  not  been  a  check  upon  them.  Master  (or  master,  tliey 
have  preferred  their  own  countrymen  to  strangers,  observing,  however,  this 
maxim,  to  obev  as  little  as  possible;  but  when  Canada  shall  be  conquered,  and

the  Cannditins  and  these  Colonies  become  one  people,  on  the  first  occasion, 
when  Knffland  shall  seem  to  strike  at  their  interest,  do  you  believe,  my  dear 
cousin,  that  these  Colonies  will  obey?  and  what  would  they  have  to  tear  t'lonia 
revoltV"  .  .  .  "  but  I  doubt  whether  they  [the  Enjilish)  would  ever  niiike 
good  a  landing.  Add  too,  that  in  case  of  a  fjeiieral  revolt,  o\'  any  part  of  tliese 
Colonies,  all  the  powers  of  ICurope,  secret  and  jealous  enemies  of  the  power  of 
Kn^land,  would  at  first  assist  them  ])rivately,  and  then  openly,  to  throw  olf  ijie 
yoke."  "  If  the  Knglish  make  a  contiuest  thej*  are  sure  to  change  the  constitution 
of  the  countr>',  and  introduce  their  own'laws,"  etc.  "Upon  this  account, 
Canada,  once  taken  by  the  English,  would,  in  a  few  years  sutler  much  more 
from  being  (breed  to  be  Englisli."  "  Farewell  then  to  .  .  .  obedience  and 
fidelity;  they  would  soon  be  of  no  use  to  England,  and  perhaps  the}-  would  op- 
pose her.  1  am  so  clear  in  what  1  now  assert,  that  I  would  not  give  more  tlian 
ten  years  after  the  conquest  of  Canada  to  see  it  accomplished.  See  then  what 
now  consoles  me,  as  a  Erenchman,  for  the  imminent  danger  my  country  runs  of 
losing  this  colon}'." 

Such  is  a  brief  synopsis  of  this  remarkable  book,  its  very  prophecies  in  1757-59 
became  the  "  very  historical  truth  "  of  1777,  and  lorciljly  struck  homo  to  tlie 
Ministry  and  the  Parliament.  It  was  published  in  March,  '77,  Just  in  the  nick 
of  time  to  "  go  to  the  country  "  with  those  two  vindictive  Acts  which  drew  from 
Burke  his  famous  letter,  oi'  the  3d  of  April,  to  the  Sherills  of  Bristol.  It  was 
announced  in  the  Loh(/o«  J/nf/asiHe  for  April,  1777,  )).  21(5.  witliout  comment; 
but  the  Munthlij  lievitw  of  the  same  month,  p.  30G,  noticed  it  rather  favorably 
and  cautiously,  beginning,  "  From  these  Letters,  which  appear  to  us  to  be  gen- 
uine, although  the  liditor  is  silent,"  etc.  The  OeiilkiiKin's  Ma(/(izine  for  Jniy,  p. 
342,  is  more  explicit,"  Thatthesagacity  of  this  accomplished  (ieneral  [Montculm] 
was  equal  to  his  bravery,  appears  from  the  following  remarkable  prediction, 
now  fatally  verified,  '  All  the  English  Colonies  would  long  since  have  siiaken 
off  the  yoke,' "  etc.  .  .  .  "  The  whole,"  says  Mr.  Urban,  "  is  well  worth  pe- 
rusal, and  shows  that  M.  de  Montcaln\  was  lain  Muxutio  ijwiin  Martt. — It  is 
proper  to  add,  that  the  authenticity  of  the  work  was  lately  attacked  in  the  House 
of  Lords  by  Lord  Shelburne,  but  ably  defended  by  Lord  &Iansfield."  On  turning 
to  the  Parliamentary  Uegisler,  to  the  celebrated  debate  in,the  House  of  Lords, 
on  the  SOth  of  May,  opened  by  the  Earl  of  Chatham,  and  closed  by  Lord  Abing- 
don, two  of  America's  friends,  in  which  debate  Earl  (iower,  the  Duke  of  tlraf- 
ton,  the  Archbishop  of  York,  the  Bishop  of  Peterborough,  Lord  Lyttleton,  t!ie 
Duke  of  Manchester,  Lord  Camden,  Lord  Weymouth,  Lord  Wycombe  [Earl  of 
Shelburne],  Lord  Manstield,  and  Lord  Onslow  particijiated.  Lord  .Shelburne 
said,  speaking  of  Montcalm's  Letters,  that  they  "had  been  discovered  to  be  a 
forgery."  But  Lord  Mansfield  said.  "  He  maintained  liis  former  oi)inions,  re- 
specting the  American  views  of  independency;  but  relied  more  upon  what  was 
argued  in  Montcalm's  Letters,  which  he  insisted  were  not  spurious."  The  next 
we  hear  of  these  Letters  a  little  further  alield,  is  a  settler  from  the  Earl  of  Aliing- 
don,  printed  at  Oxford  in  June,  in  his  Tliouijidsoii  the  Letter  of  Kilmwul  Jiiirke, 
p.  56,  "  To  get  rid  of  these  .stumbling  blocks  of  ugt/ressorshlp  [who  threw  the 
first  stone]  something  was  to  be  devised;  and  this  something  was,  that  America 
meant  to  become  independent  of  this  country.  But  how  was  this  to  be  sup- 
ported y  The  learned  Lord  [Mansfield]  proved  it  by  innuendoes,  by  say'uKjs  and 
doiiiys,  (I  jirim-i,  out  of  the  American  Assemblies,  from  Slontcalm's  Letters, 
which  have  beeu  found  to  be  forgeries,"  etc. 
Still  later,  on  the  titlh  of  March,  1778,  Just  eight  years  to  a  day  atlter  the  Boston 
Massacre,  in  another  great  debate,  in  the  House  of  Lords,  on  the  Reconciliation 
Bills,  Earl  Temple  (no  great  authority  it  is  true),  who  had  boxed  the  compass 
of  opinion,  said  "  he  believed  America  had  aime(t  ;u  independency  from  tiie 

beginning,  etc He  had  another  strong  reason  to  confirm  him  in  the 

same  way  of  thinking,  that  was,  the  pointed  observations  contained  in  the  letters 
attril)uted  to  Monsieur  Montcalm,  which  indeed  bear  the  stamp  of  prediction, 
more  than  hypothetical  reasoning.  He  observed,  that  the  authenticity  of  those  let- 
ters had  been  often  disputed ;  but  he  could  afhrm,  that  he  saw  them  m  manuscript 
among  the  papers  of  a  minister  now  deceased,  long  before  they  made  their 
appearance  in  print,  and  at  a  time  when  American  independency  was  in  the 

contemplation  of  a  very  few  persons  indeed With  regard  to  the 

right  of  Great  Britain  to  exact  a  revenue  from  America,  I  never  entertained  a 
doubt  of  it,  nor  that  the  colonies  secretly  looked  forward  to  independency.    The 
letters  I  have  already  alluded  to  prove  it." 
No  judgment  could  be  based  ou  the  character  of  the  publisher,  for  Almon,  the  pub-

lislier  of  the  Remtmln'ancery  was  one  who  printed  for  all  parties,  and  for  and  against 
America.  For  some  time  the  fjeneral  impression  remuiiied  that  the  Montcalm, 
like  tlie  Washington  letters  publiHhed  the  sHme  year,  were  spurious.  In  1835  Mr. 
Kich  recorded  the  book  with  the  remark  —  "  If  these  letters  are  Keiuiine.  tbey 
show  that  M.  de  Montcalm  had  a  verv  correct  presentiment  of  what  would  bo 
the  consequence  of  attempting  to  tax  tlie  Colonies."  In  1844,  while  engnped  in 
looking  up  materials  for  a  history  of  the  old  French  AVar,  the  writer  well  recol- 
lecls  discussing  the  character  of  the  letters  with  Mr.  Sparks,  who  unliesita- 
tinglv  pronounced  them  spurious.  Mr.  Rancroft  was  of  the  same  opinion.  The 
use  of  I  lie  word  }ilimUr$  by  S.  J.  is  strong  evidence  that  he  was  not  a  liostonian. 
In  1858  appeared  a  volume  entitled  Tht  Plains  of  Abrahavt ;  A'('^•»  miijinnl  and 
wkcted.  ByH,  Col.  Bentson,  C.  K.  8°  Gibrnkar,  Garrison  Press,  1858,  miide  up 
p«rtly  of  extracts  from  these  Montcalm  letters.  Col.  Keatson  appears  to  have  had 
no  sii!'|)icion  that  their  genuineness  had  ever  been  doubted.  Th's  Gibraltar  book 
falling  into  the  hands  of  Thomas  Ciirlyle.  while  achieving  the  Li'e  of  Frederick 
of  Prussia,  seduced  the  great  Philosopher  of  CheNea  into  a  chartning  episode 
of  eight  or  ten  pages  (Vol.  V,  Lond.  Ed.  pp.  556-563,  published  in  March  1865) 
in  which  .Montcalm  shines  as  a  great  prophet.  Writes  Thomas,  "Colonel 
Beatson  in  his  recent  Pamphlet,  The  Plains  of  Abraham,  —  which,  especially  on 
the  military  side,  is  distressingly  ignorant  and  shallow,  though  not  intentionally 
incorrect  anywhere,  —  gives  extracts  from  a  Letter  of  Montcalm's  ('Quebec, 
24th  August,  1759  ')  which  is  highly  worth  reading,  had  we  room.  It  predicts 
to  a  hair's  breadth  not  only  the  way  '  Mr.  Wolfe,  if  he  understands  his  trade,  will 
take  to  beat  and  ruin  me  if  we  meet  in  tight;'  but  also, —  with  a  sagacity 
singular  to  look  at  in  the  years  1775-77,  and  perhaps  still  more  in  the  years 
18B0-63,  —  what  will  be  the  consequences  to  those  unruly  English,  Colonial  and 
other.  '  If  he  beat  me  here.  France  has  lost  America'  utterly  '  thinks  Mont- 
calm:'Yes; —  and  one's  only  consolation  is.  In  ten  years  farther  America  will 
be  in  revolt  against  England.' "  Mr.  Carlyle  did  not  succeed  in  finding  this 
original  edition  by  Almon,  "which  is  not,"  wrote  he,  "in  the  British  Museum 
Library,  on  applying:  and  seems  to  be  a  forgotten  book."  Mr.  Carlyle  will 
doubtless,  on  further  inquiry,  in  a  future  edition,  decide  to  cut  out  this  episode, 
interesting  as  it  is,  as  he  did  another  on  another  occasion,  in  another  book,  as  a 
sacrilice  to  Truth,  or  tapping  the  bottom  of  his  tub  with  an  explanatory  note, 
after  the  manner  of  latter-day  history,  let  the  spirit  of  it  drizzle  away  unseen. 

In  Sept.  1865,  the  writer's  attention  was  called  to  thi§  episode  by  Professor  New- 
ton of  Cambridge,  while  at  Fryston  Hall  in  Yorkshire,  when  he  "at  once  recounted 
the  history  of  the  Montcalm  Vorgery,  and  the  whole  subject  was  discussed  by 
Lord  Houghton  (whose  acquaintance  with  the  historv  of  literary  forgeries  is  very 
extensive)  Mr.  William  E.  Forster,  M.  P.,  Prof.  Newton  sind  others.  The  writer 
then  undertook  to  write  out  the  story  for  the  generous  public,  but  on  returning  to 
London  no  copy  of  the "  forgotten  book"  could  be  found  in  London  or  Oxford 
for  many  montfis. 

Now  the  writer  is  aware  that  all  this  narrative,  being  mostly  negative  testimony, 
does  not  demonstrate  that  the  letters  are  forgeries,  but  it  seems  to  him  to  place 
the  whole  nic.tter  in  such  a  pv>sition  that  hardly  anything  short  of  the  actual 
proiluetion  of  the  original  autograph  letters  of  the  old  Marquis  de  Montcalm  will 
establish  their  authenticity.  Earl  Temple  might  have  senn  the  letters,  as  he  said, 
"  in  inunnscript  among  the  papers  of  a  minister  now  [1778]  deceased,  long  before 
they  made  their  appearance  in  print"  [17771.  This  "  long  betbre  "  may  have 
been  alter  the  passage  of  the  Boston  Port  Bill  in  1774,  and  tliose  letters,  if  now 
produced,  might  not  be  in  the  handwriting  of  Montcalm.  It  was  reserved 
for  Mr.  Francis  Parkman,  the  historian,  in  la6!),  to  very  nearly  settle  the  ques- 
tion of  the  likelihood  of  the  originals  ever  turning  up.  While  at  Paris  in 
the  spring  of  that  year  he  had  interviews  with  the  present  Marquis  de  Montcalm, 
who  showed  him  many  letters  of  his  ancestor,  and  among  them  the  letter  ri 
the  26th  August  to  M.  ^Iok'.  Mr.  Parkman  took  a  copy  of  it  uiuler  the  impression 
that  it  was  in  the  autograph  of  the  old  Marquis,  but  subsequent  correspondence 
with  the  present  Marquis  .showed  that  the  letter  is  not  in  the  handwriting  of 
his  ancestor,  thus  knocking  away  what  may  perhaps  be  considered  the  last  prop 
of  the  authenticity  of  the  letters.  Thi  ..  who  wish  to  pursue  the  subject  further 
are  referred  to  the  admirable  paper  tilling  17  pages  in  the  PriHttiliiiysof  //»« 
Mass'ichtisetls /listorical  Society  (or  June,  July,  and  August  1860,  pp.  112-128, 
published  in  December,  to  all  reasonable  appearances  settling  the  question.  A 
good  thing  too  that  the  question  is  now  settled,  'or  since  the  new  life  given  to  the 
fiction  by  .Mr.  Carlyle,  it  has  found  its  way  into  Maunder  and  other  biographical 
dictionaries  and  into  encyclopedias,  at  the  expense  of  the  Truth  of  History.

came  popular,  and  the  entire  edition  was  soon  upread.  The  book,  read  in  the  light 
of  to-daj'  in  this  country,  is  an  uncommon  curiosity,  more  provocative  of  Bmiles 
than  frowns.  A  good  nuniher  of  the  poems  aiul  poetical  epistles,  as  well  as 
some  of  the  occasional  pieces  in  prose,  were  written  during  the  Poet's  travels  in 
America.  His  own  youthful  importance  scnis  to  have  been  dwarfed  for  the 
first  time  in  his  life  by  Niagara,  and  hence  his  dislike  to  the  whole  country. 
He  was  nowhere  properly  appreciated,  not  even  in  Washington,  with  its  Tiber, 
and  streets  of  magniliceut  distances,  but  in  Canada  he  stood  on  his  own  soil 
[dirtl  and  threw  it,  and  felt  happier.  Some  of  his  liner  poems,  as,  for  instance, 
the  Canadian  Boat  Song,  are  in  this  volimie,  but  they  are  so  mixed  up  with 
Tom  Moore  unrefined,  that  the  volume  as  a  whole  is  an  unfortunate  monument 
to  the  great  Irish  Poet.  He  wrote  spitefidly,  and  shortly  after,  on  publishing  his 
volume,  at  three  times  the  ordinary  price,  wrote  in  his  preface,  respecting 
his  productions  in  America,  "  And  though  prudence  might  have  dictated  gentler 
language,  Iruthj  I  think,  would  have  justilied  severer."  He  lived  to  think  dif- 
ferently. In  his  last  illness,  on  receiving  from  the  writer  a  box  of  Boston 
Crackers,  the  aged  I'oet  sent  back  words  of  thanks,  adding  plaj'fully,  that  he 
never  enjoyed  anything  with  better  relish,  except  perhaps  the  news  that  his 
Poems  had'  been  reprinted  in  America,  and  were  read  with  interest  on  the  banks 
of  the  Ohio.

The  above  are  two  of  the  best  editions  of  this  most  extraordinary  work ;  a  com- 
plete biograpliy  of  the  Viuoin,  giving  tlie  most  minute  and  authentic  details 
of  her  life,  and  as  it  is  asserted,  written  by  a  special  revelation.  It  records  facts, 
dates,  events,  and  divers  proceedings,  such  for  instance  as  the  visit  of  the  Vir- 
gin to  Santiago,  the  fights  between  her  body-guard  of  two  angels  and  the  devil, 
who  vainly  endeavored  to  impede  her  progress.  One  of  these  angels  after- 
wards served  in  the  guard  of  the  JIadre  Agkkoa.  Tho  work  narrowly  escaped 
the  Index,  for  it  was  at  tirst  bitterly  opposed  by  many  of  the  Church,  and  03 
warmly  advocated  by  others.  At  first  it  was  condemned  by  the  Inquisition,  but 
afterwards  was  licensed.  Many  works  have  been  written  for  and  against  it.  Fi- 
nally it  triumphed  over  all  its  enemies,  and  is  now  received  as  thoroughly  ortho- 
dox" It  is  a  standard  work  in  the  libraries  of  almost  all  the  Convents  of  Catho- 
lic countries.  Both  editions  are  now  fortified  with  page  after  page  of  licenses,

This  beautiful  book  comprises  a  Rvstem  of  Political  Economy,  calculated  for  the 
meridinn  of  the  Kingdom  of  Old  Castile.  It  is  most  intercstinj;  and  contains 
incidentally  many  allusions  to  America  and  its  influence  upon  Spain.  The  au- 
thor considers  in  liis  seventh  and  ei{;hth  Discourses  the  two  great  causes  of 
the  Decrease  of  Population  of  Spain,  and  particularly  Castile.  The  one  is  the 
Expulsion  of  the  Moors  and  the  .lews,  and  the  other'is  the  new  Discoveries  and 
Colonies  in  America.  The  title-page  designed  by  F.  Agus.  Leonardo,  and  en-

mounted by  the  arms  of  Leon  and  Castile  supported  on  either  side  by  figures  of 
Wisdom  and  Prudence,  while  between  columns  one  on  each  side  stand  portraits 
of  the  two  brothers  of  the  author:  Alonso  Mena  Navarrete  the  eldest  brother, 
and  Alonso  Navarrete,  proto-Martyr,  both  of  the  Order  of  Saint  Domingo  in

It  is  not  eiisy  to  overestiinHte  the  liiAtorical  valiio  and  literary  imnortaiice  nf 
oi'l(;iMHl  iinpiililiHlmd  inaiiii«crlpl8  of  tliis  kiiiil.  WIkmi  it  is  reinetnliorud  what 
this  ('orpornlion  of  N«w  KiiKlaiul  was  in  London,  what  Rood  friends  of  New 
England  composed  it,  for  whom  it  labored,  how  much  money  it  raised  and  re- 
mitted to  Hoston,  how  much  good  it  acconipli>died;  how  it  befriended,  encoiir- 
aced,  and  l)acked  tlie  Coniinistnioners  of  the  United  (Colonies;  how  it  foimd  nut, 
elected,  and  supnorted  Kliot,  and  befriended  Mayhew;  how  it  clothed,  fed, 
physicked  and  emiciited  the  praying  Indians;  how  it  encouraged  and  paid  for 
the  printing  of  the  Hible,  and  many  other  books,  in  the  Indian  lanKuage;  \wit 
it  selected  and  sent  over  Marmaduke  .Fohnson  to  print  at  CambriiiKe;  how  it 
helpe<l  the  Colle(;e,  and  supported  Missionaries  both  to  the  Colonists  and  the 
Savages;  how  it  kept  the  Church  at  home  alive  to  the  wants  of  the  Mission  in 
New  Kngland  and  printed  all  the  Prof/res»e$  of  llie  (impel  avionff  the  Indiant: 
when  all  these  memories  are  brought  home  to  our  business  and  bosoms,  perhaps 
some  other  Cor/n>ralion  in  New  Hnnland  vi'iW  see  enough  in  the  Volume  to  secure 
it,  and  give  to  the  world,  through  the  press,  its  contents  in  a  neat  volume,  and 
80  repay  an  instalment  of  the  interest  on  the  great  debt  of  gratitude  so  lonK 
over-due  to  that  brave  Old  Cromwellian  Corporation.  This  volume  has  long 
sued  in  vain  for  appreciation  and  a  home  in  this  countrv,  like  the  Ilakluyt  Man- 
uscript of  1584,  the  Walter  Ludd  of  1507,  the  Logbook  of  Capt.  Luke  Foxe,  the 
I)inwiddie  and  Washington  Papers  of  1751-1758,  the  Private  Record  Book  of 
I)ieskau  and  Montcalm  of  1755-1759,  and  honest  old  Gorton's  answer  to  Morton 
in  1(561).  As  tlie_v  become  lost  to  America  they  become  precious  and  worthy  of 
printing.  It  is  impossible  to  give  any  adequate  idea  of  the  value  of  this  volume 
uv  a  mere  description,  for  though  it  contains  much  that  is  now  irrelevant  to 
New  Kngland  history,  vet  it  all  illustrates  the  history  of  the  Corporation.  A  few 
extracts  may  interest  tlie  reader. 

"  14  April  lOfiO.  That  it  be  considered  by  Mr.  Tresr  and  such  others  as  hee

Kil)le  in  the  Indian  language  in  N.  K.  for  the  best  advantage  of  the  worke." 

"21  of  April  IGfiO.  "Mr.  Tres""  reports  that  in  pursuanceof  the  Order  and  desire

And  it  is  ordered  that  Articles  bee  forthwith  prepared  accordinge  to  the  agree-

"  May  22,  lG6(t.  Whereas  it  appeares  that  Mr.  The.  Bell,  one  of  the  Memb«  of

University  of  Basle,  at  the  expense  of  a  Jo.  Hervagius,  a  IJasil  Publisher, 
should  find  a  place  in  every  public  library,  inasmuch  as  the  original  editions  of 
the  Papers  of  which  it  is  made  up,  are  now  almost  unfmdable.  Considering 
the  date  of  the  tirst  edition  of  15312,  the  reader  should  study  some  of  the  voy- 
ages with  both  of  his  eyes  open,  the  one  to  detect  the  mistranslations  aud  the 
other  the  misconceptions  of  inland  geographers,  who  misread  the  reports  of  the 
navigators.  The  volume  contains,  1.  The  voyages  of  Cadaniosto  down  the 
coast  of  Africa  in  1454-1455  ;  2.  The  lirst  three  voyages  of  Columbus,  141)2-

original  maps,  colored,  half  calf.  Folio,  Antwerpcu,  1571 

First  and  kxcessively  kake  kuition,  in  Dutch,  almost  unknown  to  biblioR- 
rapliers.  Thoufjli  the  first  Latin  cilition  bears  tiie  date  of  ITiTO,  and  may  have 
seen  the  li^ht  a  sliort  time  liofore  this,  ret  tliere  are  evidences  tliat  tliis  Dutch 
edition  was  tlie  one  in  whieli  the  work  was  composed.  The  maps  are  precisely 
the  same  in  the  two.  There  were  several  other  editions  in  Latin  between  1570 
and  IfiOO  with  new  maps,  and  retouches  of  the  orifjinal  ones,  some  dated,  and 
others  not,  so  that  one  (eels  not  entirely  safe  in  investij^atinj;  the  earliest  geog- 
raphy of  America  till  ho  can  eye  this  o"r  the  Latin  of  1570,  or  both.  A  thorough 
study  of  Ortelius  is  of  the  last  importance  to  the  student  of  the  geography  of  the 
western  hemisplierc.  He  was  a  bibliographer,  a  cartographer,  and  an  anti- 
quarian, as  well  as  a  good  mathematicinn  and  geographer,  and  what  is  of 
infinite  importance  to  us  now,  he  gave  his  autiiorities.  Many  of  the  rampant 
errors  that  disturb  and  puzzle  us  can  be  treed  and  flayed  by  the  help  of  Orte- 
lius. It  was  Ortelius'  famous  list  of  authorities  that  first  gave  to  Humboldt 
the  hint  that  Hylacomilus  and  Waldseemuller  were  ono  and  the  same  person, 
the  key  to  his  investigations  upon  the  St  Dit-  fraternity,  and  the  Vespucci 
voyages.  When  in  1802  that  other  valuable  key,  "Walter  Lud's  Orhis  Specu- 
lum, printed  in  1507,  was  discovered  by  the  writer,  and  found  to  disclose  the 
secrets  of  several  of  the  St  Dii'  books,  and  when  he  could  tind  no  record  of  it 
elsewhere,  he  was  delighted  to  find  that  it  had  not  escaped  Ortelius,  but  was 
recorded  by  him  under  the  title,  (iUAI.tekus  Luoovicus.  The  book  by  Lud 
explained  this  reference,  and  gave  us  still  more  conlidence  in  the  List  though 
there  are  still  other  books  recorded  in  it  of  which  bibliographers  as  yet  know 
nothing.

The  author  of  those  volumes,  Don  .T.  J.  F.  do  Lisardi,  hns  been  styled  the  Cervan- 
tes of  Mexico  by  some,  while  Dr.  lleristain  in  his  liihliotecn  J/i'tpami  Amiricma 
Sepltnlrionitl,  culls  him  the  American  Quevedo.  lie  has  written  much,  and  on 
the  whole  rank.s  perhaps  ns  the  best  Mexican  writer.  The  present  work  is  one 
illustrative  of  Mexican  character,  satirizing  the  I'aulls  of  the  people,  but  nhvav! 
true  to  liljcral  and  republican  principles.  This  copy  has  his  portrait  inserted. 
The  CO  lithographs  illustrating  the  work  are  sjiiritod  and  amusing.  Liaardi  wm 
born  in  Mexico  in  1771,  and  during  the  period  of  the  lievolution  wrote  very 
much,  and  chiefly  as  the  Pttuador  Mtxicnno.

Tliis  is  one  of  the  inipudcntest  bonks  known.  The  author's  real  nanu-  was  Cas- 
par riautus,  a  monk  at  Lintz  in  Austria.  In  the  most  fulsome  style,  undur  his 
assumed  name  of  I'hiloponus,  he  inscribes  the  work  to  himself  In  n  lonf;  and 
highly  complimentary  Dedication.  He  accuses  the  DeUrys,  in  their  great  col- 
lection of  Voj'afces,  of  tolling  outrageous  lies,  forgetting  apparently  his  own 
whackers.  One  of  the  ]ilates  represents  a  ship  stranded  on  the  back  of  an  enor- 
mous whale.  The  sailors  could  not  get  her  ofl"  until  the  monks  on  board  de- 
scended from  the  ship  to  baliena-firma  and  with  full  ceremony  performed  the 
grand  mass, -whereupon  the  monster  descended  gently  and  all  were  atloat  again.

If  these  well-known  PosTiLLS  OF  Guillermus  are  growing  a  little  out  of  date 
among  theologians,  this,  edition  is  becoming  much  f^oiiglit  for  l>y  lovers  of 
ancient  art  in  consequence  of  its  being  adorned  with  a  beautiful  title-page,  one 
large  cut,  and  156  small  wood-cuts,  nearly  all  of  them  bearing  the  signature  of 
the  celebrated  wood  engraver  Uiise  Uuafk.  These  small  cuts,  measuring 
almut  li  bv  IJ  inches,  are  very  spirited,  and  clever.  They  represent  cliieHj'  the 
events  in  the  life  of  our  Saviour  and  his  Apostles.  .Some  few  of  the  cuts  are 
not  signed  and  some  of  them  are  repeated,  but  on  the  whole,  this  book  is  a 
mine  of  beauty  of  design.  Few  artists  of  his  day  surpassed  in  fertility  of  genius

Very  fine  large  clean  copy.      Vellum.  Folio,  Genoa,  1516 

James  thk  Antiquaky  of  Milan,  in  April  1506,  suggested  to  the  Dominican 
monk  Uiustiiiiani  of  Genoa,  then  3(i  years  of  ag«,  to  occupy  liis  leisure 
(otium  cum  negotio)  in  collecting,  colliiting,  and  publishing  in  one  volume 
the  I'salnis  of  David,  in  Hebrew,  Greek,  Arauie,  and  Chaldean,  (ogethur  wiih 
three  of  the  best  I.utin  versions  extant,  and  with  comments  of  his  own.  Ten 
years  were  devoted  to  this  great  work,  and  the  present  volume,  the  tirst  Poly- 
glot of  the  I'saims,  was  the  result.  It  is  inscribed  to  Leo  X  by  Giustinia'ni 
from  Genoa  in  August  1516.  In  the  notes  there  are  several  historical  and 
geographical  references  to  contemporary  events  of  considerable  interest,  such 
as  tliat  to  I's.  2i),  v.  6,  where  he  interprets  the  unicorn  to  be  a  rhinoceros,  and 
says  that  he  had  seen  a  picture  of  one  lately  brought  to  the  King  of  I'urtugal 
from  India.  But  the  most  interesting  of  all  the  notes  is  the  very  long  one  on 
the  4tli  verse  of  the  xix  Psalm,  wherein  Giustiniani  gives  an  account  of  the  life 
and  voyages  of  his  fellow-townsman  Columbus.  There  are  several  points  in  this 
notice  which  we  do  not  find  elsewhere  printed  so  early,  especially  respecting  the 
second  voyage,  and  the  Survey  of  the  south  side  of  Cuba,  as  far  as  Kvange- 
lista  in  May  and  June,  1404.  Almost  all  other  accounts  of  the  Second  Voy- 
age, except  that  of  liernaldez,  end  before  this  Cuba  exploring  expedition. 
Ferdinand  Columbus  accuses  Giustiniani  of  telling  fourteen  lies  m  this  paper, 
but  they  are  small  ones.

A  lliiok  of  the  highest  interest  for  the  modern  history  of  Mexico.  Ily  the  ocle-

On  the  titli  of  .Inly  following  the  insurgent  clergy  cliiim  their  old  inunuiiily.  It 
is  the  olijcct  of  this  liook  toconihat  that  claim.  All  history,  sacicd  and  profi'.ne, 
is  ransacked  for  precetlents.  Kvery  rehcllion,  from  that  successful  one  of 
I.iu-ifcr  down,  is  liiid  under  contrihution  for  authorities  and  e\ann)les.  The

rrobably  no  monarch  ever  had  erected  to  him  in  honor  of  his  accfssion  to  the 
throne  such  a  tower  of  brilliants  as  this  volume  contains  in  honor  nf  Ferdinand 
the  VI  of  Spain.  The  whole  University  of  Mexico,  the  Athens  of  the  new 
world,  as  they  delight  to  call  it,  seems  to  have  conspired  to  outdo  tiiid  overleap 
itself  by  ingenious  trifling  in  prose  and  verse,  aiKl  prosy  ver-e.  'I'he  volume 
is  tilled  with  epigrams,  [Milygrams,  roundrobins,  riPin:incps,  ^'ratnliitions,  diritiches, 
octaves,  tentaves,  puns,  jokes,  redondillas,  anagrams,  programs,  elironograms, 
puzzles,  catches,  drolls, bbus.ropliedons,  sonnets,  odes,  acrostics,  double  acrovtics, 
treble  acrostics,  stnn/.as,  suns  (v.  pp.  40-41).  saphics,  a-Tostics  ot'  letters,  acros- 
tics of  syllables,  acrostics  of  words,  poems  of  whole  liiU's,  half  Hues,  first  halves, 
last  halves,  up-rcadings,  down-readings,  to  be  read  to  the  Icif  r.l'  us.  and  to  the 
right  of  us,  in  Latin  and  iSpanisli,  in  sense,  in  nonsense,  indeed,  in  everything 
but  common  sense.  The  university  of  Mexico  seems  on  that  occasion  to  have 
thrown  its  entire  Faculty  into  wit,  with  a  solemn  detennination  to  express  all 
the  wit  it  had,  even  if  compelled  to  live  witless  ever  at^ter.

Thf  result  of  this  grand  Cromwellian  expedition  of  10,000  men  under  Gen.  Vena-

the  hi(;li-suunding  rallying  cries,  while  private  pains,  wholesale  thievings,

Sardo.     Fine  copy,  caff.  4°  Mexico,  1810 

A  book  of  considerable  historical  interest  outside  of  the  particular  religious  sub- 
ject treated.  It  tills  8  prelim,  leaves  and  38li  pp.  The  Apparition  of  the  Santo 
CitiSTo  itB  Ciiai.ma,  representing  which  inere  is  a  copperplate  frontispiece 
prefixed  to  this  volume,  occurred  in  Mexico  in  1530,  and  Irom  that  day  to  this 
Its  history  lias  been  interwoven  with  the  eeclesiustical,  and  is  sometimes  insep- 
arable from  the  i>olitical,  history*  of  Mexico,  C8[>ecially  so  far  as  the  manage- 
ment and  education  of  the  Indians  intrusted  to  the  misiiioiiaries  of  the  Order 
of  St  Augustiu  are  concerned.  The  large  nuinlier  of  the  earliest  and  rarest 
looks  relating  to  New  Spain,  referred  to  and  quoted  in  this  work,  renders  it 
indispensable  to  tiie  historian.  It  is  furthermore  replete  with  biographical  notes 
and  references,  not  easily  found  elsewhere.

Fol.  Printed  hy  I.  D.  &  I.  H.for  Michael  Sparhes,  Lond.  1627 

Of  the  three  impressions  of  the  large  map  of  Virj^inia,  first  published  in  1612, 
this  is  the  second,  and  the  right  one  for  this  edition,  before  Spnrket  Point  was 
put  in.  Of  the  nine  editions  of  the  map  of  New  England,  with  the  portrait  of 
Cnpt.  Smith  this  is  the  third,  before  the  portrait  was  retouched,  before  Charlei 
River  was  extenfled,  and  before  Salem  and  Boston  were  put  in.  Very  fevr 
copies  of  the  editions  of  1624, 1626,  and  1627  have  all  the  right  maps.  Tha 
plate  of  the  map  of  New  England  was  much  altered  after  1627,  and  names  of 
places  added  which  were  not  given  till  162S,  1630,  or  later.  It  is  very  important 
to  have  the  right  maps,  corresponding  to  the  date  of  the  edition.

Of  this  book  one  may  read  in  the  last  Aug.  No  of  the  Ilittorical  Mafjazine,  p. 
106 :  "  This  curiously-constructed  volume  opens  with  an  Introduction  [by  Simon 
Stevens,  President  of  the  Tehuantepec  Railway  Company]  in  which  the  char- 
acter of  the  LaSere  Grant  [of  1869]  for  a  right  of  way,  from  ocean  to  ocean,  is 
carefully  described ;  with  copies  of  the  Charters  granted  by  Mexico  and  Ver- 
mont ;  and  specifications  of  the  proposed  work.  Then  follow,  what  possess  most 
interest  to  us,  —  HUtorical  and  Geoaraphical  Notes,  1453-1869,  the  former  by 
Henry  Stevens,  the  widely-known  Bibliopole  of  London;  the  latter  bv  some 
unknown  hand.  The  whole  is  elaborately  illustrated  with  Maps  and  I^ngrav- 
ings;  and,  typographically  considered,  it  is  a  volume  of  great  beautv.  In  his 
Historical  Notes,  Mr.  Henry  Stevens  has  briefly  glanced  on  the  Old  ^V■orId  as  it 
was  four  hundred  years  ago"  —  and  traced  tte  progress  of  discovery  and  ex- 
ploration down  to  15-30,  especially  so  far  as  it  pertained  to  the  New  World  and 
Its  development  and  gradual  recognition  as  an  independent  hemisphere.  He 
treats  of  tne  earliest  maps,  the  mistakes  of  the  navigators,  the  blunders  of  the 
geographers,  etc.  etc.  and  endeavors  to  show  for  the  ilrst  time  on  record,  that 
the  coast  lines  originally  laid  down  as  the  north-eastern  coast  of  Asia  was  after- 
wards adopted  as  the  eastern  coast  of  North  America.  The  effect  of  this  dis- 
covery, if  maintained,  must  considerably  modify  our  previously-conceived  no- 
tions as  to  our  earl^  geography,  chronology,  and  history.  The  above-named 
article  concludes  with :  —  "  Such  a  paper,  sandwiched  in  «  prospectus  for  a  new 
railway,  is  as  unusual  as  it  is  judicious.  The  volume  whicn  contains  it  will  bo 
■ought  for  and  perused  by  hundreds  who  would  not  otherwise  have  cared  for  it;

This  rare  and  highly  important  collection  of  Letters  from  the  Jesuit  Mission- 
ariet  in  all  piirts  of  the  World,  deserves  to  be  better  known  to  the  American 
historians.  It  is  the  great  repertory  of  these  valuable  Letters.  Not  only  are 
all  the  celebrated  Letlres  Edijiantes  translated  and  incorporated  info  this  Ger- 
man Compilation,  but  very  man}'  more  are  added,  so  that  it  becomes  the  great 
storehouse  of  topography,  history  and  geopraphy  of  India,  China,  Japan, 
Borneo,  Persia,  Turkey,  and  the  whole  of  the  Western  hemisphere.  There  are 
letters  from  every  part  of  North  and  South  America,  and  especially  the  more 
remote  provinces  of  Mexico,  of  California,  Brazil,  Peru,  Quito,  and  Paraguay; 
nor  do  we  fail  to  find  letters  from  Canada  and  the  Eastern  Provinces;  Maine, 
Kew  York,  the  Great  West  and  the  Valley  of  the  Mississippi.  The  historical 
mouser  who  has  waded  through  Stiicklein,  must  necessarily  have  accumulated 
details  which  cannot  be  found  elsewhere.

The  above  title  gives  no  indication  of  the  value  of  this  book  for  American  his- 
torj'  and  biography.  The  author  was  a  shrewd,  sharp-witted  Quaker,  born  in 
the  north  of  England;  had  his  eye-teeth  cut  while  in  the  Church  of  Knglund 
before  he  seceded  and  joined  the  Quakers.  After  travelling  in  Scotland  and 
round  about,  he  drifted  towards  London  in  1697,  where  he  had  the  good  fortune 
to  make  the  acquaintance  of  William  Penn.  Their  intimacj'  M)on  ripened  into 
friendship,  and  in  the  autumn  of  1608,  Storj*  embarked  at  London  for  Penn- 
sylvania. The  next  year  he  made  a  progress  through  New  Jersey,  New  York 
City,  Long  Island,  Connecticut,  Rhode  Island,  to  Boston  and  vicinity,  and  even 
into  New  Hampshire,  spreading  everywhere  the  true  light  of  Truth  and  con- 
founding the  Priests.  He  interviewed  KoUon-God  Cotton  of  Sandwich,  and 
spiced  him  well.  He  is  particularly  racy  about  the  laws  of  Connecticut  and 
Massachusetts.  "Such  is  the  great  Uondage  and  Slavery  that  People  are  in  to 
their  hired  Preachers,  who  had  noosed  them  into  a  Law  of  their  own  making, 
destructive  of  the  Liberty  of  their  Consciences  and  Civil  Rights,"  etc.  He 
found  himself  again  in  I'hiladelphia  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  1700,  ready 
to  return  to  England;  but  William  Penn,  appreciating  his  abilities,  oft'ere'd 
many  inducements  to  him  to  remain.  He  became  a  member  of  the  Governor's 
Council,  the  Keeper  of  the  Great  Seal,  the  Master  of  the  Rolls,  the  Recorder 
of  Deeds,  and  one  of  the  Commissioners  of  Property.  On  the  granting  of  a 
Charter  about  this  time  to  the  inhabitants  of  Philadelphia,  erecting  it  into  a 
City,  Story  was  appointed  the  First  Recorder.  Soon  alter  he  again  travelled 
to  New  England  and  elsewhere  at  the  North,  and  into  Virginia  and  Carolina  at 
the  South.  In  1706  he  married  a  daughter  of  Edward  Shippen,  of  Philadelphia, 
formerly  of  Boston.  He  remained  in  the  Government  of  Pennsylvania  till  1708, 
when  he  went  to  the  West  Indies  and  thence  to  England.  Altogether  nearly 
300  pages  of  this  work  are  occupied  by  the  author's  travels  and  labors,  polit- 
ical and  pious,  in  America.  Indeed,  it  is  the  largest  book  of  Travels  in  what  is 
now  the  United  States  up  to  this  time,  1708.

1996  STRANGWAYES  (Geuroe)  The  Vnhappy  Marksman. 
Or  a  Perfect  and  Impartial  Discovery  of  that  lat^  Barbarous 
and  Unparallel'd  Murther  Committed  by  Mr.  George  Strang- 
wayes,  Formerly  a  Major  in  the  King's  Army  on  his  Brother- 
in-law  Mr.  John  Fussel  an  Attorney,  on  Friday  the  Eleventh 
of  February.  Together  with  a  full  Discovery  of  the  Fatal 
Cause  of  those  unhappy  Differences  which  first  occasioned  the 
Suits  in  Law  betwixt  them.  Also  the  behavior  of  Mr.  Strang- 
ways  at  his  Tryal.  The  dreadful  Sentence  pronounced  against 
him.  His  Letter  to  his  Brother-in-law,  a  Member  of  Parlia- 
ment. The  words  by  him  delivered  at  his  death ;  and  his 
stout,  but  Christian-like  manner  of  dying.  Published  by  a 
Faithful  Hand.  Ovid.  Trist.  lib.  5.  Strangvlat  inclusus  dolor, 
atque  cor  eestuet  intus.  Excessivelt  rare.  Fine  copy,  vellum, 
82  pp.  4°  London,  T.  N.fvr  R.  Clavell,  1659 

Victor  Hugo,  in  his  recent  novel,  "  L'homme  qui  rit,"  describing  the  horrors  of 
the  Press-house  of  Ntwyate,  has  brought  the  subject  of  this  little  book  into  ter- 
rible prominence.  That  author,  so  far  as  the  scenes  are  laid  in  England,  pro- 
fesses that  he  has  not  exceeded  the  reality,  and  that  he  has  not  gone  beyond 
the  letter  of  the  law  or  the  not  unfl-equent  practice  of  the  courts.  Yet  he  has 
portrayed  scenes  of  torture  in  Protestant  England  that  were  rarely  or  never 
exceeded  by  the  Inquisition  of  Spain.  The  London  Times  of  the  14lh  of 
last  October,  in  reviewing  M.  Hugo's  book,  asserts  that  the  author  has  disre- 
garded history,  and  introduced  scenes  which  it  is  impossible  to  believe  could 
nave  ever  taken  place  in  England.  A  week  later,  in  the  London  Telegraph, 
of  the  22d  October,  Mr.  Swinburne,  tlie  poet,  comes  out  in  an  able  and  per- 
fectly convincing  defense  of  his  French  friend,  and  shows  that  it  was  the  com- 
mon practice,  when  a  prisoner  of  a  certain  class  refused  to  plead,  to  condemn 
him  to  the  torture  of  the  jxress  till  death,  or  till  he  consented  to  plead.  Mr. 
Swinburne  alludes  to  this  case  of  Major  Strangwayes  as  the  last  case  of  one 
d3'ing  under  this  torture,  about  the  middle  of  the  18th  century.  He  was 
herein  mistaken  one  century,  as  to  Major  Strangwayes,  but  there  was  a  case  in 
1720,  of  Spiggott  who  submitted  to  the  press  with  much  courage  for  some 
time,  but  finally  yielded,  plead,  lived  awhile,  and  died  a  wretch  in  body  and 
soul,  two  or  three  years  later.  Several  papers  have  appeared  in  England  on 
this  subject  within  the  last  few  years,  but  this  original  account  seems  to  be  little 
known,  while  at  the  same  time  it  gives  important  details,  and  far  exceeds  in 
otKcial  horrors  anything  written  oy  M.  Hugo  or  Mr.  Swinburne.  The  high 
social  position  of  the  murderer  and  the  murdered,  and  the  whole  chain  of  cir- 
cumstantial evidence,  are  given  in  full  in  this  contemporary  account.  For 
reasons  which  he  deemed  suiticient.  Major  Strangwayes  refused  to  plead  when 
brought  betbre  the  court,  and  "  persisting  in  his  first  resolution  not  to  plead, 
tiears  from  the  offended  court  thts  dreadful  sentence  :  — 

"  77(a(  the  Prisoner  be  sent  to  the  place  from  whence  he  came;  and  that  he  be  put 
into  u  inean  Bouse  stopped  from  any  Light ;  and  that  he  tie  laid  uijon  bis  Back, 
with  his  Body  bare,  savinff  something  to  cover  his  Privy  part* ;  That  his  Arvis 
shall  be  stretched  foi-th  with  a  Cord,  the  one  to  one  tide  of  the  Pi'ison,  the  other 
to  the  other  side  of  the  Prison ;  am  in  like  manner  shall  his  Legs  be  used:  Ami 
that  upon  his- Bodu  shall  be  laid  as  much  Iron  and  Stone  as  he  can  bear,  and 
more  ;  And  the  first  day  shall  he  have  Three  Morsels  of  Barley  Bread,  and  the 
next  day  shall  he  drink  thrice  of  the  Water  in  the  next  Channel  to  the  Prison 
Door,  but  no  Spiing  or  Fountain  IVater:  And  this  shall  be  his  punishment  till 
he  die '' 

Thus  in  the  Press-house  in  London,  in  February,  1658,  because  he  would  not 
plead,  the  prisoner  died,  his  friends  looking  on,  and  some  of  them  even  mount- 
ing the  press  among  the  iron  and  the  stones  in  kindness  to  hasten  his  horrid 
death.    Can  Victor  Hugo  over  i  lor  these  simple  facts  V 

An  age  later,  in  1692,  Giles  Corey  of  Salem  Farms,  paid  a  like  penalty.  In  Mas- 
sachusetts a  witch's  soul  was  snaked  out  of  his  body  by  an  old  law,  while  a

death.  And  well  might  young  Cotton  Mather  exclaim:  —

This  excessively  bare  play  by  Struys,  founded  on  Shakespeare's  "  Romeo 
and  Juliet,"  usually  sells  for  £h  to  £10  in  London.  The  impression  in  this 
copy  of  the  spirited  vignette,  on  the  title,  representing  Juliette  at  the  tomb 
of  the  Capulets,  killing  herself  with  the  dead  Romeo's  sword,  is  most  brilliant.

A  rare  and  very  important  historical  work.  It  contains  the  lives  and  martyrdoms 
of  the  Jesditt  missionaries  in  the  four  parts  of  the  Globe.  Some  of  tliose  wlio 
perislied  in  Asia  and  Africa  had  previously  labored  in  America.  Part  IV  is 
devoted  entirely  to  America,  comprising  pages  563  to  738,  and  contains  biog- 
raphies, some  of  them  very  full,  of  fifty-eight  missionaries,  all  of  whom  were 
put  to  death  by  the  savages  in  some  horrid  form  or  other.  These  terrible  deaths 
are  illustrated  by  thirty-nine  copperplates  in  the  text,  representing  all  sorts  of 
tortures,  each  more  horrid  than  the  last,  equal  in  refinement  of  cruelty,  almost 
to  that  of  the  Spanish  savages  who  first  explored  and  devastated  the  New

Quito,  Mexico,  and  California.  But  perhaps  tbe  most  interesting  part  of  the 
volume  to  us  is  pp.  647-694,  containing  the  lives  of  the  French  Jesuits  among 
the  Hiirons,  the  Iroquois,  and  other  nations  of  Canada,  New  Yoric,  and  the  West, 
comprising  the  biographies  of  Fathers  Isaac  Jogues,  Antoine  Daniel,  .Jean  da 
Breheuf,  Gabriel  Lallemant,  Charles  Gamier,  Natalis  Chabanel,  Cornelius 
Beudin,  Jacob  Basil,  and  Jacob  Vhuteux.  The  Life  of  Father  Jogues  tilling 
27  pages,  is  the  fullest  in  the  volume.  He  is  represented  as  being  tortured  to 
death  by  the  Iroquois  on  the  18th  of  October,  1646,  first  by  three  Indians  pulling 
out  the  nails  of  his  fingers  and  toes  with  pincers.

At  the  head  of  the  dedication  are  the  arms  of  the  Archbishop  of  Mexico,  en- 
graved by  Antonio  Mokeno,  Mexici  sculpsil.  The  volume  contains  eleven 
preliminary  leaves,  and  58  pages.  Aside  from  the  intrinsic  value  of  the  work 
as  one  of  the  principal  ones  upon  the  languages  of  Mexico,  there  is  on  the  tenth 
leaf  a  piece  of  elaborately  ingenious  trifling  worth  mentioning.  It  is  an  Elogio 
of  sixteen  lines,  by  Dr.  Miguel  Joseph  Moche,  upon  the  Author,  so  arranged  in 
concentric  circles,  like  a  wheel  of  sixteen  spokes,  that  each  line  terminates  in  A, 
placed  at  the  hub.  The  middle  letter  of  each  line  is  a  capital.  Then  reading 
first  round  the  tire,  then  the  middle  circle,  ending  at  the  hub  with  A,  we  have

This  exact  fac-simile,  in  lithography,  of  above  700  closely  printed  pages,  in  black 
letter,  tal<en  from  the  unique  copy  preserved  in  the  Baptist  College  Library  at 
Bristol,  of  the  first  edition  of  Tynualk's  New  Testament,  is  a  monument  of 
the  industry  and  pious  zeal  of  Francis  Fry.  For  all  practical  purposes  in 
philology,  theology,  and  history,  it  is  every  way  aa  good  and  useful  as  the 
original,' which  would  to-day  probably  produce  a  thousand  guineas  were  it  un- 
fortunately put  up  to  auction.  This  edition,  very  limited,  was  issued  in  this 
style  at  seven  guineas,  and  a  few  copies  on  vellum  at  £42.

2090  TRACTATE  (A)  ON  CHURCH  MUSIC ;  being  an  Ex-

of  the  Dissenters.  The  Christian  Religion  shines  brightest 
in  its  own  dress ;  and  to  paint  it,  is  but  to  deform  it.  Dr. 
Nichol's  Defence  of  the  Church  of  England.  Fine  copy, 
uncut,  half  roan.  8°  I^ondon,  1786 

On  the  back  of  the  title  is,  "  This  Tractate  on  Church  Music  is  inscribed  to  the 
reverend  Doctor  Chauncy  and  the  reverend  Mr.  John  Clark,  the  Ministers;  and 
to  the  several  members  of  the  Fikst  Conorrgational  Dissenting  Ciiukch 
IN  Boston  in  America."  The  interest  of  this  tract  is  considerably  enhanced 
by  a  knowledge  of  the  circumstances  which  called  it  forth.  This  copy  be- 
longed to  Mr,  S.  Toms,  the  antiquarj-  of  London,  who  in  1780  wrote  his  auto- 
graph on  the  title,  and  an  account  of  the  origin  of  the  book  on  the  reverse  of  it. 
It  is  well  known  that  Mr.  Tho.  Brani>k  Holms,  one  of  the  benefactors  of  Har- 
vard College,  had  acquired  a  wide-spread  reputation,  like  the  late  George 
Peabody,  for  wealth  and  liberality,  and  like  him  was  not  unfrequentiv  subjected 
to  calls  for  considerable  sums  of  money  for  objects  in  which  he  had  either  no 
sympathy,  or  did  not  feel  that  he  should  be  bled.  Among  these  applications 
was  one  from  Dr.  Charles  Chauncy  and  the  pillars  of  the  First  Congregational 
Church  of  Boston  tor  ;£500,  to  buy  an  Organ.  Instead  of  granting  this  extraor- 
dinary request  from  a  well-to-do'  Societj',  Mr.  Brande  Hollis  caused,  it  is  said, 
6()0  copies  of  this  Tkactatk  to  be  printed  and  sent  over  to  the  Members  of  the 
Sdcietv,  endeavoring  thereby  to  inculcate  in  them  that  modestj*  and  simplicity 
in  their  public  worship,  which  they  seemed  for  the  moment  to' be  outgrowing. 
Feeling  somewhat  ditfident  about  the  ability  of  his  compilation  to  effect  its  ob- 
ject, Mr.  Brande  Hollis  submitted  it  to  two" friends  "  because  he  knows  the  de- 
served esteem  with  which  their  names  are  regarded  in  America."  These  two 
gentlemen.  Dr.  Price  and  Dr.  Kippis,  in  a  Postscript,  add  their  testimony  against 
the  use  of  instrumental  music  in  Churches.  Finally  on  a  small  slip  at  the  end  is 
pasted  this  quotation  from  Monsieur  le  Chevalier  d'e  Chastellux,  a  French  otfieer, 
who  served  with  LaFayette  'n  the  American  War.  "  A  judgment  may,  gener- 
allv,  be  formed  of  a  people,  oy  their  mode  of  worship:  If  it  be  simple  and  mod- 
est, then  they  are  active,  and  industrious;  if  it  be  full  of  solemnity  and  pomp, 
then  they  are  vain  and  frivolous;  if  it  be  melancholv  and  austere,  then  they 
are  tierce,  violent,  and  obstinate."  Never  before  probably  was  so  much  pious 
sarcasm  concealed  in  so  small  a  book.

A  very  funny  production,  and  one  that  even  now  some  of  the  hide-bound  polit- 
ical economists  of  the  old  world  might  study  with  profit.  The  aim  and  general 
scope  of  tlie  author  may  be  seen  in  his  earnest  replies  to  the  three  (|Uestions  pro- 
posed in  1783  by  the  Academy  of  Lyons,  namely, — I,  Has  the  Discovery  of  Allle^ 
tea  been  an  advantage  or  a  disadvantage  to  the  Human  Family  V  If  the  results 
have  been  favorable,  what  means  should  be  employed  to  secure  and  tranmniit 
them  to  our  successors?  Or  if  they  are  bad  what  means  ought  to  be  adopted 
to  remedy  them?  These  and  similar  questions,  proposed  to  or  oy  the  Academies 
of  Berlin,  Besan^on,  Metz,  Liifge,  Chalons,  Angers,  Manheim,  Madrid,  Arms, 
Bordeaux,  Mentone  and  Toulouse,  are  all  so  discussed  and  handled  by  our 
Author,  Jeim  Urun,  as  to  render  the  answers  a  perfect  Triumph  to  the  New 
World.  Indeed,  from  these  learned  answers  one  can  see  that  the  Americans, 
native  ami  foreign,  are  indeed  useful  to  the  Human  Family,  if  in  fact  they  are 
not  a  part  even  of  that  family.

8°  Tigvri,  apud  Ch.  Froschouerum,  1534 
The  general  opinion  among  the  German  Geographers  of  this  date  was  that  what- 
ever parts  of  the  world  did  not  properly  pertai.i  to  Europe  and  Africa  somehow 
belonged  to  Asia.  Up  to  1533,  Vadian,  Schoner,  Fine,  and  many  others  placed 
the  discoveries  of  Cortes,  and  all  before  him,  in  Asia.  This  book',  therefore,  be- 
comes important  to  the  student  of  American  History,  not  so  much  to  trace  out 
actual  geographical  information,  as  to  see  how  befogged  the  learned  were  even 
twenty  years  after  Columbus  was  in  bis  grave.

entire  (but  with  reverent  hanils)  in  Joseph  Smith's  great  work  on  Quaker  Lit-

stained.  8"  Paris  [for  the  Mexican  Market'},  1831 

This  is  said  to  be  a  well-written  and  impartial  history  of  Mexican  independence 
After  having  freed  itself  from  the  desjxitisni  of  the  princes  of  Old  Spain,  this 
author,  after  recapitulating  the  struggles  for  independence,  advocates  the  hold 
doctrine  that  even  worse  tyrants  are  to  be  overthrown  in  Mexico  before  she  will 
be  a  free  country.  He  pronounces  the  power  of  the  clergy  even  more  intoler- 
able than  the  despotism  of  princes,  and  hence  the  work  could  not  have  been 
printed  in  Mexico.

There  is  a  good  laugh  on  every  page  of  this  little  boolt.  The  take-ofl'of  Spanish 
dedications,  licenses,  censiiras,  etc.  is  sufficiently  amusing.  The  list  (>f  autiiora 
quoted  and  referred  to  fills  9  pages,  many  of  whose  names  appear  nowhere  else. 
The  poem  itself  fills  about  80  pages,  while  the  notes,  built  up  in  the  truly  asinine 
order,  fill  about  175  pages,  and  almost  take  away  the  breath  of  the  reader  with 
their  learning  and  profound  scholarship.  Asses,  and  their  bouts  and  whereabouts, 
are  traced  in  every  part  of  the  world,  but  how,  not  being  indigenous,  thej'come 
to  occupy  the  New  World  ho  extensively  is  a  puzzle  which  the  author  has  given 
his  raiud  to  most  auccessfully.     Lege  —

It  seems  to  have  been  reserved  for  this  poet  of  Guatemala  to  first  commit  the 
praises  of  cowpox  or  vaccination,  and  Dr.  Jenner  to  immortal  verse.  He  had 
not  only  to  overcome  the  prejudices  of  the  people,  but  the  dogged  [dogma'd) 
conservatism  of  the  Church.  If  we  may  judge  of  his  services  by  the  beautiful 
,  frontispiece  to  the  volume,  engraved  by  Francisco  Cabrera  of  Guatemala,  it 
must  have  been  complete.  This  engraving  is  3}  by  2^  inches  square.  In  tlit 
foreground  on  the  right  stands  the  friendly  cow  tied  to  a  tree  in  the  open  pas- 
ture, and  bv  her  the  Doctor;  on  the  left,  seated  on  a  bank,  with  lingers  on  tiie 
musical  strings  is  the  poet  doing  his  pastoral,  while  the  children,  all  naked  and 
bare,  come  rushing  over  the  hili^,

An  extraordinary  volume,  of  considerable  higtorical  interest.  According  to  this 
pious  author  Our  Lady  of  Mexico,  between  1808  and  1812,  seems  not  only  to 
have  taken  an  active  interest  in  the  spiritual  welfare  of  the  faithful,  but  seems 
to  have  done  her  best  to  thwart  the  schemes  of  the  rebels  and  republicans  in  the 
various  provinces  of  Mexico.  She  set  her  face  firmly  against  the  spirit  of  Mex- 
icon  Independency,  and  became  quite  a  politician,  but  always  nttached  to  the 
royal  party.  The  pious  political  frauds  contained  in  this  volume  must  ever 
give  it  a  prominent  place  among  the  books  relating  to  the  Historj'  of  the  Mex- 
ican Revolution.

This  excessively  rare  book,  comprising;  272  foliod  leaves,  is  one  of  the  linndfonicxt 
books  ever  printed  in  Spain.  There  is  a  (jood  wool-cut  portrait  of  the  author 
on  the  title,  and  many  geographiral,  astronomical,  and  scientific  wood-cut.« 
throu;;hout  tlie  volume,  one  of  the  most  interesting;  of  which  is  a  delineationof 
the  Xew  H^imisphere  on  thn  reverse  of  folio  9,5  Tlie  volume  is  of  verv  coniid- 
erabie  interest  to  the  student  of  early  Amitrlcan  neo;;rapliy,  chrnnotocy,  and 
history.  It  contains  the  latit  ides  and  lonjjitudes  of  most  of  the  ciiiof  places  in 
the  new  world,  and  in  the  Calendar  a  very  full  list  of  the  Spanish  and  Porlufjuefie 
Mints  and  saint-dnys.  As  many  places  were  named  by  the  discoverers  from 
the  saint's  day  on  which  the  discovery  was  made,  hence  from  the  name  we  can 
lometimea  arrive  at  the  date.  This  book  is  full  of  such  sugp:estive  material, 
and  therefore  must  hereafter  hecome  a  hand-hook  for  the  student  of  early  Amer- 
ican history.  For  instance  if  the  Rio  de  San  Aitlonio  deicribed  by  Oviedo  in 
1537  as  laid  down  by  Aia)nzo  dr  Ciiavrs  in  his  famous  map  of  *153(S,  on  the 
authority  of  Gomez'  voyaire,  be  identified  as  the  Hudson  River,  then  Gomez  must 
have  been  there  on  the  13th  of  June,  1525,  and  as  several  other  places  between 
Narra^anset  and  Chesapeake  Bays  were  named  by  Gomez  after  saints  it  will  not 
probably  be  diflScult  to  solve  the  historical  puzzle  as  to  whether  Gomez  coasted 
north  or  south.  We  find  nothing  in  this  book  to  connect  our  .Jerome  de  Chaves 
with  the  celebrated  Reocrapher,  Alonzo  de  Chaves,  but  as  they  were  both  of 
Seville,  it  is  not  unlikelv  that  they  will  turn  out  to  be  father  and  son.

Tlinii(;h  called  a  trannlation,  this  is  believed  to  be  an  original  work  by  M.  de 
Crevpcreur,  whooe  initials  only  appear  at  the  end  of  the  very  neat  dedication  to 
Washington.  The  author  spent  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century  in  America;  saw 
Washington  in  1774  come  to  the  first  Coneress  fresh  from  liis  farm,  witnessed 
Ills  extraordinary  career,  and  in  1797  saw  him  retire  to  the  private  life  of  an 
agriculturist.  His  experience,  therefore,  enables  him  to  give  much  information 
and  personal  gossip  not  readily  fonnd  elsewhe'e.  The  portrait  of  Washington 
in  the  first  volume  is  an  interesting  one,  "  Grav^  d'apr^  le  Cam^e  peint  par 
Madame  Brc'han  a  Newyork  en  1789."  There  is  also  a  tine  portrait  of  KfcSKg- 
ToMAii,  an  Onondaga  Sachem,  and  of  Koohassen,  an  Oneida  Warrior.

(if  the  rarest  and  inos<t  preciuiis  book  relutiiig  to  Kiigli!>h  North  Aiiiericii.  liichid- 
ing  this,  the  writer  does  not  know  of  the  existence  of  more  than  half  a  dozen  per- 
fect copies.  'I'hese  are  the  copies  in  the  British  Museum  and  liodleian  Libra- 
ries, and  in  the  private  collections  of  Mr.  Leno.x,  Mr.  lirown,  and  Mr.  Christie- 
Miller.  There  is  a  very  imperfect  one  in  the  library  of  Harvard  College,  and 
one  wanting  two  leaves,  belonging  to  Sir  Thomas  Phillipps.  No  copy  complete 
in  England  is  known  to  have  been  sold  for  less  than  £10U  for  the  past  hundred 
years,  and  one  has  been  understood  to  have  clianged  hands  at  double  that  sum, 
and  probably  will  again  if  the  opportunity  occurs. 

It  has  become  the  fa.sliion  within  the  last  few  years  for  bibliographers,  especiiilly 
those  who  have  got  beyond  their  depth,  to  depreciate  and  decry  the  great  col- 
lection of  voyages  of  t'he  UeUrvs.  1  hey  charge  that  these  tanious  engravers 
had  not  a  due  regard  for  historic  truth,  and  drew  upon  their  imaginations  for 
most  of  their  flne  pictures  of  men,  animals,  and  things  in  foreign  countries.  The 
accounts  of  Virginia  and  Florida,  being  parts  one  and  two  of  the  American  Col- 
led ion,  are  said  to  be  overdrawn,  mere  fancy  sketches,  and  therefore  calculated 
only  to  mislead  the  truth-loving  historian.  These  charges  are  based  solely  on 
negative  testimony,  that  is,  they  say,  that  none  of  the  oiiginal  paintings  used 
by  the  DeUrys  are  known  to  exist,  and  the  engravings  have  the  appearance  of 
(German  manufacture. 

Now  it  has  been  the  good  fortune  of  the  writer,  in  his  bibliographical  mousings 
up  and  down  the  world,  to  liglit  upon  the  original  paintings  which  Deliry  ust-d 
for  his  Virginia,  and  part  of  his  Florida,  and  to  turn  up  other  facts  which,  all 
put  together,  not  only  clear  the  DeUrys  of  the  charge  of  disregard  of  truth, 
but  go  far  toward  establishing  their  great  (Jollections  as  trustworthy,  and  as 
honestly  put  forth  by  them.  If  the  Voyuger,-,  exaggerated  their  own  accounts,  it 
was  not  the  fault  of  the  DeBrvs.  A  synopsis  of  tlie  storv  n>ay  perhaps  as  well 
be  recorded  here  as  anywhere,  and  may  be  brought  back  to  the  anvil,  re-ham- 
mered, and  worked  up  with  authorities  hereafter. 

It  is  well  known  that,  alter  the  failure  of  the  Huguenot  attempts  to  make  settle- 
ments in  Florida  under  ISibault  and  LaudoimiiT  in  15fi2-l&fii>,  the  artist  of  tiie 
latter  expedition — one  of  the  very  few  who  escaped  the  terrible  massacre  by 
Menendez  —  I.e  Moine  by  name,  retired  to  London,  resided  in  the  lilackfriars,  and 
subsequently  became  a"servaunt  to  .^ir  Waller  Haleigh."  Huleigh  had  known 
Hakluyt  and  his  studies  in  Cosmography,  while  student  at  Oxford,  and  subse- 
quently in  London,  while  interested  in  the  expeditions  of  Frobisher,  Ciilbert, 
and  others,  had  intercourse  with  the  authoruf  lUrcrtt  ioi^ni/rt.  Again,  somewhat 
later,  after  finishing  his  little  ina'ters  in  Flanders,  Haleigh  found  himself  in 
Paris,  and  there  was  llakluvt  again,  nominally  Chapliiin  to  the  Fnglish  Kni- 
bassy  under  Sir  K.  Statlbrd,  but  really  hunting  historical  and  geographical  inatp- 
rial  tor  a  greater  work  on  the  voyages  of  his  countrymen  among  the  outside 
barbarians.  Here  in  1584  INkluvt  linishcd  lor  Haleigh  an  elaborate  geogiaph-

liberal  charter  for  discover^'  and  plantalion  in  a  more  southern  latitude  than  had 
before  been  attempted  by  the  English.  They  pitched  upon  the  territory  just 
north  of  that  which  thev  found  described  in  Laudonni^r'n  Journal,  which  Hakluyt 
had  secured,  and  which  was  pictured  in  the  maps  and  drawings  of  Le  Moine.  A 
reconnoitring  expedition  haa  been  sent  out  by  Raleigh  in  1684  under  the  com- 
mand of  Amidas  and  Barlow,  which  returned  in  September.  The  results  of 
this  voyage,  and  Hakluyt's  Paper  (63  closely-written  large  folio  pages),  entitled, 
"  A  particular  discourse  concerning  the  greate  necessitie  and  manifold  comody- 
ties  that  are  like  to  grow  to  this  Realme  of  Englande  by  the  westerne  discov- 
eries lately  attempted,  written  in  the  yere  1584,  by  Richarde  Hakluyt  ...  at 
the  requeste  of  Mr.  Walter  Raleigh  before  the  coming  home  of  his  two  Barkea  " 
[from  the  north  of  Florida]  etc.  secured  from  the  Queen  the  desired  Charter  for 
tix  year*  and  no  more,  that  is,  to  make  discoveries  and  found  plantations  up  to 
1590,  when  the  Charter  expired  by  limitation.  This  manuscript  of  Hakluyt  fell 
into  the  hands  of  the  writer  some  fifteen  years  ago,  and  he  tried  for  a  year  or 
two  to  place  it  in  America,  but  without  success.  It  was  afterwards  sold  to  Sir 
Thomas  Phillipps.  It  is  soon  to  be  printed  for  the  first  time  by  the  Maine  Histor- 
ical Society,  [n  the  autumn  of  1867  the  writer  had  the  honor  of  calling  the 
learned  Dr.  Woods'  attention  to  it,  and  suggesting  it^  publication  by  the  Maine 
Historical  Society. 

While  in  Paris,  Hakluj't  induced  his  friend  Basanier  to  edit  Laudonni^r's  Journal, 
and  publish  it  under  the  patronage  of  Raleigh,  while  he  himself,  under  the 
same  patronage,  brought  out  his  excellent  edition  of  Peter  Martyr's  Eight  Dec- 
ades, with  the  best  map  by  F.  G.  of  the  new  hemisphere  that  had  been  com- 
piled up  to  that  time.  Basanier's  book  appeared  in  1586,  and  Hakluyt's  in 
1587.  Laudonni^r's  Journal  fell  into  the  hands  of  Theodore  DeBry,  an'enter- 
prising  engraver  at  Frankfort,  formerly  of  Li^ge.  One  of  the  ten  or  a  dozen 
who  escaped  the  massacre  in  Florida  was  a  young  man  named  DeBrj^,  probably 
a  relative  of  the  engraver.  At  all  events  the  engraver  took  a  deep  interest  in 
the  work,  and  in  1587  went  to  London  to  see  Le  Moine  in  the  RIackfriars,  with  a 
view  of  obtaining  Komeofhis  paintings,  to  enable  him  to  reproduce  Laudunni^r's 
Journal  with  illustrations.  But  being  at  the  time  in  Raleign's  service,  Le  Moine 
was  either  unable  or  unwilling  to  give  DeKry  all  he  wanted.  But  Le  Moine  dy- 
ing the  next  year,  DeBry  returned  to  London  in  1588,  and  succeeded  in  buying 
of  the  widow  the  rest  of  the  Florida  collection.  But  while  there  he  fell  in  with 
Hakluyt,  who  was  then  engaged  in  bringing  out  his  first  folio  Collection  of  Voy- 
ages. Hakluyt  informed  DeBry  of  the  recent  Virginia  Expeditions  under  Ra- 
leigh's Charter,  and  suggested  that,  instead  of  bringing  out  his  Florida  as  a  sepa- 
rate book,  he  had  better  take  the  new  book  of  Master  Thomas  Harlot,  just  out  of 
the  press,  and  illustrate  it  from  the  portfolio  of  John  \Vhite,  the  artist  sent  out 
by  (jueen  Elizabeth  as  chief  Draughtsman  in  the  expedition  of  1585,  who  had 
recently  returned,  dedicate  the  work  to  Raleigh,  nnd  so  begin  a  grand  illustra- 
ted collection  of  vovages,  the  Virginia  being  the  first  part,  the  Florida  to  be 
held  back  to  form  the  second  part.  Hariot,  White,  Raleigh,  and  DeBry  all  fell 
into  this  arrangement,  and  Hakluyt  agreed  to  write  the  descriptions  of  White's 
maps  and  pictures.  DeBry  thus*  having  filled  his  portfolios  with  copies  of 
White's  works  and  the  originals  of  the  Tate  Le  Moine's  paintings,  returned  to 
Frankfort,  and,  with  incredible  enterprise  and  perseverance,  brought  out  his 
Virginia  in  1690,  and  the  Florida  in  1591,  the  latter  as  the  Second  Part  of  a 
Collection  of  Voyages.  The  Florida  by  this  arrangement  had  been  enlarged 
by  additional  pieces  and  plates.  From  this  brief  statement  it  will  be  perceived 
that  thus  far  DeBry's  Collection  is  perfectly  authentic,  and  in  its  origin  is  essen- 
tially Knglish.  In  another  place  we  think  it  will  not  be  difiicult  to  show  that 
he  was  alike  painstaking  and  straightforward  in  the  materials  of  all  the  other 
parts  of  both  nis  Amtrica  and  India,  and  hence  it  must  follow  that  the  Collec- 
tions are  as  deserving  of  confidence  as  the  original  Voyages  from  which  they 
are  reprinted,  translated,  and  edited. 

But  in  reprinting  Harlot's  report,  and  illustrating  it  with  White's  pictures,  did 
not  DeBry  exaggerate  and  embellish  ?  The  answer  is  No,  for  the  following  rea- 
sons: In  the  }-car  1865  John  White's  original  paintings  in  Water  Colors,  made 
for  Sir  Walter  Raleigh  in  1585,  fell  by  purchase  into  the  hands  of  the  writer,  and 
in  March  1866  fell  into  the  right  place  in  the  (irenville  Library  in  the  British 
Museum,  at  the  moderate  cost  to  the  Trustees  of  j£236  b$.  Od.  They  now  are  a 
prominent  part  of  the  world-renowned  "Grenville  DeBry."  A  glance  at  the 
drawings  will  show  that  thev  are  the  works  of  an  artist,  and  portraits  whether 
of  men,  women,  animals,  fish,  fowls,  fruits,  or  plants.  They  are  highly  linisiied. 
DeBry's  copies  are  very  close,  but  not  embellished.     Tlie  following  extracts

■lowing  extracts 


from  the  writer's  report  on  the  collection,  dated  22d  March,  18G6,  when  offering 
it  to  the  Tru!<tees  ot  the  British  Museum,  are  given  with  the  hope  nf  removing 
some  of  the  aspersions  that  have  been  of  late  cast  upon  this  famous  collection, 
and  encouraging  collectors  to  repose  confidence  in  the  hoiieslv  of  the  great 
Frankfort  family  of  engravers.  The  drawings  are  beautifully  Lound  in  two 
volumes  in  red  morocco. 

"  To  A.  I'anizzi,  Ksq.  etc.  etc.  British  Museum The  two  volumes, 

with  some  aids  from  the  Grenville  Library,  will  speak  for  themselves,  but  the 
following  notes  may  facilitate  your  researches.  They  are  chiefly  drawn  out  of 
Hakluyt,  Furchas,  l)eBry,  Hariot,  Captain  John  Smith,  and  others. 

"  The  larger  volume  contains  76  Original  Drawings  in  colors,  done  for  Sir  Waltar 
Raleigh  by  .lolin  While,  the  English  Painter  who  was  sent  by  Queen  Elizabeth 
in  1585  to  Virginia,  as  principal  draughtsman  in  Haleigh  s  famous  Second  Expe- 
dition for  exploring  the  country  and  pianting  hU  '  First  Colonie.'  This  Expe- 
dition of  seven  ships  was  under  the  command  of  Admiral  Sir  Richard  Grenville, 
the  ancestor,  I  believe,  of  the  founder  of  the  Grenville  Library,  Thomas  Can- 
dish,  or  Cavendish,  was  also  of  the  fleet,  and  Master  Ralph  Lane  was  the 
Governor  of  the  Colonie.  This  '  First  Colonie,'  consisting  of  10!)  men,  remained 
in  Virginia  one  whole  year,  and  then  returned  to  England  in  July,  158tj,  in  Sir 
Francis  Drake's  fleet  returning  victorious  from  the  West  Indie's,  beciiuse  the 
long  expected  supplies  and  reinforcements  from  England  had  not  arrived. 
Fourteen  days  after  their  departure  Sir  Richard  Grenville  arrived  with  new 
stores  and  new  planters,  to  And  the  Old  Colonie  deserted. 

"  To  Thomas  Hariot  and  John  White,  two  of  these  109,  we  owe  nearly  all  we 
know  of  that  grand  and  most  unfortunate  expedition,  and  it  is  not  too  much  to 
say,  I  think,  that  to  them  alone  we  may  fairly  ascribe  nearly  all  the  accurate 
knowledge  we  have  of  the  Indians,  and  the  natural  history  of  that  countr}'  for 
a  full  century  later. 

"  Nothing  is  recorded  of  John  White  in  Modern  Dictionaries  of  art  or  biography, 
yet  from  DeBry  and  Hakluyt  we  learn  that  he  was  both  an  eminent  artist,  and 
an  influential  man  in  his  day.  He  made  no  less  than  four  voyages  to  Virginia; 
was  an  '  adventurer '  in  the  '  First  Colonie ; '  the  Governor  of  the  '  Second  Col- 
onie '  in  1587;  and  the  grandfather  of  Virginia  Dare,  the  first  English  child 
born  in  North  America;  the  friend  and  agent  of  Raleigh,  and  the  a^isociate  of 
Hariot.  Many  of  Governor  White's  Letters  and  Journals  are  preserved  by  his 
friend  Hakluvt.  His  last  voyage  to  Virginia  was  in  1590,  as  chief  of  Raleigh's 
'  Fifth  Expedition,'  to  aid  and  reinforce  the  Colonie  of  1587.  Ho  returned  un- 
successful the  same  year,  and  retired  to  Ireland,  whence  he  dated  a  letter,  long 
and  important,  to  his  friend  Hakluyt, '  from  my  house  at  Newtowne  in  Kyl- 
more  tlie  4th  of  February,  1593.' 

"Theodore  DeKrj' in  his  second  visit  to  London  in  1588,  was  introduced  to 
White  by  Hakluyt,  who  suggested  to  that  eminent  engraver,  then  projecting 
his  Grand  Collection  of  Voyages,  to  reprint  Harlot's  '  Report  of  Virginia,' 
then  just  issued,  and  illustrate  it  with  the  pictures  of  John  White.  Hakluyt 
also  persuaded  DeBry  to  delay  his  Florida  and  make  the  Vivuinin  his  First 
Part.  White's  pictures  were  copied,  and  the  artist  returning  to  Frankfort,  with 
incredib'e  enterprise  rompletea  the  engravings  in  a  masterly  manner,  and 
issued  the  work  in  1690,  in  folio,  four  editions,  in  four  languages,  English, 
French,  German,  and  Latin,  a  monument  of  Beauty  and  Art  to  himself,  to 
Hariot,  and  to  .lohn  White.  Not  more  than  five  or  six  copies  of  tlie  English 
edition  are  now  known  in  England,  and  for  the  last  century  liave  never  sold 
complete  for  less  than  100  guineas,  and  would  now  bring  probably  200  guineas. 
The  copy  in  the  Grenville  Librarj'  is  the  fines't  I  have  f>een. 

"  These  drawing*  now  offered  to  the  Trustees  are  no  doubt  the  identical  paint- 
ings that  were  copied  by  DeBry  and  published  in  1590.  Beautiful  as  DeBry's 
work  is,  it  seems  tame  in  the  presence  of  these  original  drawings.  UeKry 
copied  only  about  one  third  of  the  drawings.  The  rest  have  nover  been  en- 
graved, though  some  of  them  were  used  in  the  Flurida,  and  in  the  third  and 
sixth  Parts.  There  is  a  volume  of  White's  [|)crliaps  partly  Le  Moine's]  draw- 
ings in  the  Sloane  Collection  (N°5'270)  but  liiey  are  not  duplicatt'S  of  those. 
A  few  of  them  are  similar  designs.  'I  lie  price  of  tiiis  volume  is  200  guinea! 
(£210.)  The  price  of  the  sinu'.ler  volume,  if  the  other  be  taken,  is  25  guineas 
(£2IJ  5s.  0'/.;  together  £230  ft».  Of/.)  The  siorv  of  the  smaller  \ulunu'  is  very 
curious.  At  the  fire  at  Sotheby's  in  June,  18ti5,  the  drawings  were  saturated 
with  water,  and  remained  so  for  three  weeks  under  heavy  pressure,  which  pro-

Such  is  the  brief  history  of  this  rpmarkable  book,  the  only  copy  of  which  it  ii 
believed  that  has  ever  been  offered  by  auction  in  this  country.  Its  authenticity 
cannot  be  doubted.  It  contains  nearly  all  we  know  of  Raleigh's  Old  Colonie, 
which  he  himself  never  saw,  and  which  resulted  in  an  entire  failure,  probably 
owing  to  the  unfortunate  limitation  of  the  enterprise  to  six  years.  No  such  ex- 
peii-ive  efforts  were  ever  after  made  by  any  expedition  or  Colony  to  collect 
such  vivid  and  picturesque  material  of  the  New  World,  its  inhabitants,  and 
natural  products.

Folio,  Amsterdam,  Uj  Jacob  Pieterss  Wachter,  1634 
The  author  of  this  excessively  curious  and  rare  work  was  Vice-Admiral  of  the 
celebrated  expedition  of  the  Dutch  in  1043,  under  Admiral  Hendrick  Brouwer, 
against  the  Spaniards  of  Chili;  timt  printed  at  Amsterdam  in  1046,  and  three 
years  later  forming  the  25th  Part  of  the  Collection  of  Hulsius.  Brouwer  dying 
on  the  passage  out,  the  command  fell  upon  Hbkckmans,  who  was  probably  the 
amateur  compiler  and  editor  of  the  various  Journals.  This  Zee  Vaert  Lof  is  aa 
elaborate  historical  poem  in  six  books  in  honor  of  Navigation.  AH  the  cele- 
brated voyages  of  the  world  from  Nonh  to  1632  are  recorded  in  chronological 
order.  The  voyages  of  discovery,  leading  up  to  the  discovery  of  America,  are 
mentioned  witb  considerable  detail,  and  after  Columbus  are  recorded  most  of 
the  voyages  both  to  the  east  and  the  west,  especially  the  expediiions  of  the 
Dutch  navigators.  The  voyages  to  the  north  are  hU  mentioned  in  the  text  and 
notes.  The  volume  is  beautifully  illustrated  by  an  engraved  title  and  eighteen 
exquisite  etchings  in  the  text.  The  one  at  the  beginning  of  the  third  book 
bears  the  mark  of  Rembrandt,  with  the  date  1033.

See  No.  891  of  this  Catalogue.  Hernandes,  or  the  Third  Pliny,  spent  seven  years 
by  order  of  Philip  the  Second,  in  active  research  into  the  natural  history  of  the 
plants  and  animals  of  New  Spain.  Shortly  after  his  death  his  MSS.  and  Collec- 
tions were  placed  in  the  hands  of  Dr.  Nardo  Antohio  Ricci,  who  abridged  the 
MSS.  and  printed  at  Rome  beforn  1628,  a  large  folio  volume  in  Latin,  with 
many  wood  cuts.  But  a  copy  of  a  part  of  his  abridgment  bad  somehow  found 
its  way  back  to  Mexico  in  time  to  be  reabridged  and  translated  into  Spanish  by 
Francisco  de  Ximenes  and  printed  there  in  1615.  A  part  of  the  original  col- 
lection was  burnt  with  the  library  of  the  Kscurial  in  1671.  This  edition  ii 
not  to  be  compared  with  the  work  of  Dr.  Ricci.  This  is  more  of  Hernandes 
without  his  editors,  more  correct,  with  many  additions,  but  wi'hout  any  illustra- 
tions. Had  Hernandes  lived  to  edit  and  publish  his  own  work,  as  Humboldt 
and  Bonplaud  did  theirs  two  hundred  years  later,  it  is  not  likely  that  these  two 
friends  would  have  then  laid  before  the  public  so  much  that  was  entirely  new  to 
the  philosophers  of  the  old  world.

2519  NicnOLLH  (J.  F.  Cit^  Librarian,  Bristol)  The  Remarkable 
Life,  Adventures,  and  Discoveries  of  Sebastian  Cabot,  of  Bris- 
tol, the  Founder  of  Great  Britain's  Maritime  Power,  Discov- 
erer of  America,  and  its  first  Colonizer.  Cioth.  Portrait  and 
map,  4"  London,  Sampson  Low  Sf  Co.  1809 

We  conTesR  that  we  cut  the  leareR  of  this  beautiful  buok,  iVoiii  tbe  Lliimkk  Prtu 
of  WliittinghHin,  wiiii  an  eagerneRH  that  has  seldom  been  ours.  We  read  it 
througt).  and  through,  and  through,  and  closed  it  with  a  profound  ditiapouint- 
ment  which  haii  never  before  been  ours.  We  interleaved  it  delicately  wiih  our 
historic  litniuH  papers  an<l  found,  to  our  great  regret,  that  it  would  scarcely  in 
any  part  »'taud  the  test  of  impartial  criticism.  We  had  Ung  hoped  some  day 
to  Hnd  time,  with  reverent  hand^i,  to  mouse  round  and  brinp  to  light  some  biu> 
den  documents  in  Bristol  that  might  throw  light  on  the  Cabots.  Mr.  NIcholla, 
as  a  thorough-going  antiquary,  hns  di!>pelled  that  hope.  He  has  found  nothing 
in  Bristol  that  properly  pertains  to  that  family,  and  has  been  compelled  to 
rehiish  Biddle, 'l^tler,  flumbolot, seasoning  the  dii<h  with  the  discoveries  of  Mr. 
liawdun  Brown  \n  Venice,  and  Mr.  Be'genroth  in  Madrid,  flavoring  the  whoU 
with  a  portrait  of  Sebastian  (,'abot,  exquisitely  engraved  by  Kawie,  and  an  ex- 
tract fiom  '  Sebastian  (Jabot's  Map,'  of  1544,  now  in  the  Imperial  Lib'ary  at 
Paris.  Mr.  Nicholls,  as  a  painstaking  chronicler,  has  used  all  the  ma'erials  that 
the  active  research  of  many  antiquaries  has  turned  up  in  the  present  century, 
and  the  result  is  the  above  remarkable  title-page,  and  the  fullowiiig  pasyagea 
from  his  condusicm,  on  pp.  187,188:  "Even  where  his  [Sebastian  Cabot's] 
ashes  lie  is  a  mystery ;  and  he  who  gave  to  England  a  continent,  and  to  Spain 
an  empire,  lies  in  soine  unknown  tomb."  ....  "I'his  man,  who  surveyed 
and  depicted  thiee  thousand  miles  of  a  coast  which  he  had  discovered;  who 
gave  to  Britain,  not  only  tbe  continent,  hut  the  unfold  riches  of  the  di'cp,  in  the 
lisheries  of  Newfoundland,  and  the  whale  fishery  of  the  Aiciic  S?ea;  who  broke 
up  a  monopoly  that,  vampire-like,  was  sucking  out  England's  infant  r^trcngth, 
and  unh>cked  for  her  the  ireasurts  ot  the  world,  saying, '  Uo,  win  and  thtn  wear 
them;'  who  is  never  reported  to  have  struck  an  aggressive  blow;  who  made 
enemies  into  friends,  and  whose  friends  were  everwiiimly  attached  to  him;  who, 
by  his  uprightness  and  fair  dealing,  raUed  England's  name  high  among  the 
niitions,  placed  her  credit  on  a  solid  foundation,  nnd  made  her  citizens  re^pect• 
ed;  who  was  the  father  of  free  trade,  and  gave  us  the  carrving  trade  ef  the 
world:  this  man  has  not  a  statue  in  the  ciiy  that  giive  him  birih,  or  in  the  me- 
tropolis of  the  country  he  so  greatly  enriched,  or  a  name  on  the  land  he  discov- 
ered. Emphatically,'  the  most  scieniific  seaman  of  his  own  or,  perhaps,  many 
subsequent  iiges — one  of  the  gentlest,  bravest,  best  of  men  —  his  actions  have 
been  misreprc'iented,  his  discoveries  denied,  his  deeds  ascribed  to  others,  and 
caluinnv  has  flung  its  tilth  on  his  memory." 

Now,  without  atieiiipting  to  become  a  champion  of  "Historic  Truth,"  being  fa- 
miliar with  all  the  muterials  used  in  compiling  this  book,  and  much  more  of 
kindred  character,  we  cannot  forbear,  here,  tor  the  want  of  a  better  place,  to 
book  our  rarnest  protest  in  behalf  of  the  memory  of  John  Cabot  and  Clirit<toplier 
Columbus,  against  such  wholesale  a-isumptioiis.  There  is  no  warrant  in  the 
documents  that  Mr  Nicholls  has  used  to  justify  him  in  placing  Sebastian  Cabot 
on  this  pedestal.  What  we  know  of  him  is  very  slight.  It  is  only  by  making 
his  hero  tell  a  flat  lie  that  Mr.  Nicholls  makes  him  an  Englishman  instead  of  a 
Venetian,  and  in  the  face  of  the  most  valuable  contemporarj'  papers  brought  to 
light  by  Mr.  Kawdon  Brown  nnd  Mr.  Kergenroth,  he  appropriates  honors  to  the 
son  winch  rightfully  belong  to  the  father,  .lohn  Cahot.  The  simple  truth  is 
that  all  those  papers  of  14!)7  and  1498  refer  only  to  .lohn  Cabot,  and  the  voyaga 
of  1497.  They  allude  to  the  larger  expedition  of  1498  as  having  gone  forth,  John 
Cabot  with  it,  but  not  yet  returned.  That  Sebastian  Cabot  was  in  both  vovages 
there  is  little  doubt,  but  in  a  subordinate  capacity.  As  nothing  more  Is  lieard 
of  .John  Cabot  it  is  not  unlikely  that  he  died  during  the  voyage  of  1498,  and  so 
his  son  took  command  —  but  this  is  not  certain.  We  have  no  distinct  account 
of  the  voyage  of  1498,  nor  liave  we  of  any  subsequent  vovage  from  England  of 
Sebastian  Cabot.  If  he  '  survej'ed  and  depicted  3000  miles  of  a  coast,'  it  must 
have  been  in  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence. 

In  the  fall  of  1512,  having  received  no  further  encouragement  from  Herry  VII 
or  VIII,  Sebastian  C«l)ot  took  service  under  the  King  of  Spain,  where  he  re- 
mained for  a  great  number  of  years,  though,  perhaps,  visiting  England  occasion- 
ally.   If  he  made  the  voyage  of  1517  it '  took  none  effect,'  and  we  have  no  ac-

from  Herry  VII 
where  he  re- 
igland  occapion- 
re  have  no  ac- 


count of  it.  In  his  old  age  he  returned  to  England  after  the  death  of  Holbein 
and  was  made  use  of  in  getting  up  a  trailing  company  to  Hui'sia,  but  of  this 
honorable  enterprise  very  little  has  come  down  to  us  of  a  characti  r  to  lift  him 
to  the  high  position  claimed  by  the  author  of  this  book.  Documents  may  turn 
up  herearter,  justifying  in  a  degree  the  high  encomiums  of  Mr.  Nichflli'.  htit  at 

E resent  we  know  of  them  not.  Nor  do  we  know  of  unv  one  wliofc  "<alumny 
as  flung  its  filth  on  bis  memory."  On  the  page  of  hislorv,  if  one  finds  very 
little  in  favor  of  .Sebastian  Cabot  to  raisie  him  far  above  the  Uve^yet  no  one  has 
found  anything  against  him.      His  record,  so  far  as  we  know  if,  is  honoriible. 

To  all  intents  and  purposes  Christopher  Columbus  was  the  discoverer  of  Amer- 
ica, and  is  entitled  to  that  honorable  distinction.  The  prand  idea  of  failing 
west  to  find  the  east  was  his,  and  the  success  wos  his;  let  the  honor  be  his.  It 
is  true  he  did  not  fiist  see  the  Island  of  Cape  Kreton  nor  the  northern  coa't  of 
the  Uulf  of  St.  Lawrence,  yet  he  pointed  out  the  way  to  his  friend  and  fellow- 
townsman,  John  Cabot. 

As  to  the  excellent  ))ortrait  in  this  book  it  is  a  welcome  contribution,  but  if  ought 
p«rhaps  to  be  explained  Ihat  what  may  have  been  true  forty  years  ago  is  not  true 
now,  •'  from  the  original  in  the  possession  of  Charles  ,Io.«h  nartord  Ksq."  Near- 
ly 40  years  ago  the  original  portrait  passed  into  the  hands  of  Mr.  Diddle,  it  is 
understood  at  the  cost  of  £600,  and  was  brought  bv  him  to  this  country.  A 
good  copy  was  tHken  and  is  now  preserved  in  the  AfassacluiFctts  Iliftfricnl  So- 
ciety. The  original  was  destroyed  by  the  great  fire  in  I'ittsbtirgh.  There  ap- 
pears to  be  a  mistake  in  ascribing  it  to  Holbein,  as  that  celebruted  ( ainter  is 
now  proved  to  have  died  before  S.  Cabot  returned  to  England  fir^m  Sjiain. 
The  Latin  inscription  on  the  portrait  to  us  seems  to  point  to  John  Cabot  as  the 
first  discoverer  of  the  new  land  [primi  invenforis  terra;  nova']  ond  not  to  the 
son  Sebastian. 

As  to  the  extract  of  the  map  of  Sebastian  Cabot  which  Mr.  Nicholls  has  given,  it 
is  difKcult  to  account  for  the  errors  that  have  crept  into  and  all  over  it.  Out  of 
65  names  given  in  and  about  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence  and  Nova  Scotia,  more 
than  40  of  them  are  nuissnelled,  and  severol  of  them  hopelet^sly  disguised.  The 
typographical  errors  and  literary  slips  throughout  the  book  are  as  unpardonable 
as  they  are  numerous.  They  are  such  as  properly  belong  to  the  author  and  not 
the  printer,  witness  the  date  1474  in  heading  of  Chap.  Ill  and  repealed,  the 
dates  1543  on  page  67,  &c.  &c.  Still  with  all  its  faults  the  book  is  an  interesting 
one.
